For this:
Select the language in Choose a specific language.
Choose a specific language
Toggle the Force language Text switch to ON.

Smooth sensor noise⌁
Smoothing displays the smoothed curve (it does not change readings), useful for noisy measurements.
You can also try Graph smoothing to clean your graph.
Smooth sensor noise
Try to work around noisy readings
Show interface hints⌁
After you first installed xDrip+ you will see hints during first opening of some features, you can disable this behavior or reset it.
Show interface hints
Show tips/hints describing buttons functions etc. Uncheck and recheck to reset to the beginning.
Graph Settings⌁
You can customize most of the items that will display on the main graph.
Graph Settings
Adjust chart items
Graph smoothing⌁
Graph Smoothing
Graph smoothing will apply a smoothing filter to the graph to make it easier to follow (less noise).
This is only a visual effect and doesn't impact readings.
Enable
Simplify graphs by smoothing out irregularities in the previous readings. The current reading, alerts and broadcast values are not affected by this setting.
Show unsmoothed 
Show unsmoothed data also if graph smoothing is enabled. If calibration plugin is used, will show unsmoothed data instead of plugin data.
Rewrite history⌁
Rewrite history will soften transitions after adding a new calibration to reduce the step like effect.
Make sure this is also enabled on followers to avoid different visualization of past BG values.
Rewrite History
After calibration, adjust recent raw graph to smooth to the new calibration
Widget range lines⌁
You can select to visualize high and low limit lines on the widget.
Widget Range Lines
Show a high and low line on the widget
Main graph lines⌁
You can disable vertical time lines on the main graph.
Show Graph grid time lines
Grid time lines visible
You can disable horizontal glucose lines on the main graph.
Show Graph grid glucose lines
Grid glucose lines visible
Filtered data⌁
Filtered or smoothed plot adds another graph curve and can eventually create missing data.
Display Filtered Plot
Useful for noise and missed readings
Create missing filtered
Make filtered data as needed
For some data sources (like patched LL app) this will expose the unfiltered raw data as xDrip+ BG display is already filtered.
Raw data⌁
Raw data that can be displayed by xDrip+ if available.
Display raw data plot
G4, G5 and rebatteried G6 provide raw data.
Now raw data are mainly visible for Libre sensors but not with this option.
For Libre sensor raw data use Advanced Settings for Libre 2.
Basal information⌁
If basal information is available from an external source (AAPS NSClient) it can be displayed by xDrip+.
In AAPS/NSClient:
-
Config builder
-
Synchronization - xDrip+ settings
- Enable Send status line to xDrip+
In xDrip+:
- Settings - Less common settings - Enable Extra status line - Enable External status
- Settings - Inter-app - Enable Accept treatments
- Enable Show basal TBR
Show Basal TBR
Basal information will also be uploaded to Tidepool.
Target and average lines⌁
You can visualize various reference lines on the graph:
Show Graph target line
Show Graph recent average
Show Graph total average
- 8-Hour average line (recent)
- 24-Hour average line (total)
- Target line
Libre trend⌁
Libre trend enables a small graph available in the three dots menu on the main view.
Show Libre trend
G6 predictions⌁
G6 prediction is a built-in feature of the G6 transmitter showing as small grey dots.
G6 prediction
SMB⌁
SMBs are icons decluttering the graph for micro-bolus treatments. Touching the SMB gives the amount in insulin in the information line.
Show micro bolus icons
Medtrum Secondary
Display the Medtrum A6 secondary sensor values.
Trend momentum⌁
Show momentum working curve
Displays a red dotted line (1) momentum extrapolating current BG trend for predicted lows/highs.
It is completely independent from predictions (2) and doesn't take in consideration carbs or insulin models.
Noise workings⌁
Additional noise calculation visual information, five dots yellow line on the right of the curve.
Show Noise workings
Backfilled data⌁
Backfilled data can be indicated with an empty blue dot.
Show backfilled data
Widget graph⌁
You can hide the graph on the widget and keep only the value.
Hide widget graph
These two options are only available for developers.
Illustrate remote data
Customize Y axis range⌁
The main screen vertical axis has a default minimum of 40 mg/dl (2.22 mmol/l) and default maximum of 250 mg/dl (13.9 mmol/l).
You can arbitrarily fix lower and upper value for the Y axis. Whenever readings will be out of this range, the graph will extend the range to make them visible. Y scale will then return to these settings when out of fixed range values are not displayed anymore.
Customize y axis range
Glucose number from Filtered⌁
Filtering might delay readings and is not recommended.
Filtering is hardware coded for Patched Libre 2 app data source.
Glucose number from filtered
Bolus Wizard Preview⌁
BWP will show insulin on board (IoB) and suggest corrections based on the predictive parameters entered in xDrip+.
This is an indication. Make sure you understand the EULA before using it.
Never follow the suggestions when BG is fast changing.
Bolus Wizard Preview will show only when either carbs or insulin are present.
Show Bolus Wizard Preview
Display Insulin/Carb calculations
Always show Bolus Wizard Preview
Display Insulin/Carb calculations all the time
If you force always show BWP it will always suggest a correction (insulin or carbs).
High Priority Notifications⌁
This will bring xDrip+ graph and notifications at the top of the list, disabling it brings it down.
You can disable High Priority Notifications, but you shouldn't disable it completely with Run collector in foreground if you don't want xDrip+ to be put to sleep by Android.
