Changing Your Language

AI Finance Team is available in English, Hungarian (Magyar) and German (Deutsch), and the interface is fully translated in all three: every screen, every button, every message.

Your choice is your own. It does not change what anyone else sees in the app. It does change one thing that reaches other people, and it is worth knowing before you switch: a message you send a client is written in your language, not theirs.

Switching language

  1. Open the account menu at the foot of the sidebar and click Account.
  2. Open the Language tab.
  3. Pick English, Magyar or Deutsch, then click Save preferences.

The interface switches straight away and you get a "Language preference saved." confirmation. The page itself puts it plainly: "Choose the language for the AI Finance Team interface. Emails we send you will use the same language."

One setting covers everything. It is not per workspace: change it once and it applies wherever you work, in every workspace and every organisation. No permission is needed, and nobody else can change it for you.

If you have an old Account → Preferences link bookmarked, it still works. That page was split in two, and the language half now lives on the Language tab.

What follows your language

  • The whole interface: menus, labels, buttons, hints, error messages.
  • Emails the system sends you: password resets, invitations, approval requests, document requests and message nudges are all written in the language of the person receiving them.
  • Numbers. Hungarian groups thousands with a space and uses a decimal comma.
  • Month and period names, so a report reads "July 2026" or "2026. július".

What does not

This is the useful half of the article, because most of it surprises people.

Dates stay the same in every language

Every date reads 2026-09-25 and every timestamp 2026-09-25 14:05, in English, Hungarian and German alike. This is deliberate: it is the form the accounting systems, NAV and bank statements all use, and it removes any doubt about which number is the day and which the month. Only month and period names follow your language.

Messages you send are in your language, not the reader's

The one place your setting reaches someone else. A notification the system generates is written in the recipient's language, but the email carrying a message you wrote is framed in yours, because that is the language you wrote the message in. A Hungarian accountant messaging a German-speaking client sends a Hungarian-framed email. Worth remembering when you choose who writes to whom.

Exports never follow your language

Not one of the four export files is affected by your setting:

ExportLanguage of its headers
Ledger exportEnglish, always
RLB posting fileHungarian, fixed by the receiving software
HessynKettős fileHungarian, fixed by the receiving software
VAT setup workbookEnglish sheet names always, plus a second header row in the client's country language

The VAT workbook is the one to watch: its sheet names must stay English because the importer finds the sheets by name, and its second header row follows the workspace's country, not you. Importing back, each sheet may use any one of the three languages, but mixing languages inside one sheet is rejected, not guessed.

Text the AI wrote stays as the AI wrote it

Document summaries, triage reasoning, matching explanations and merge suggestions are stored as written and shown to you unchanged. The same goes for the type badge on a document that is not a contract: it prints the AI's own word, so a German chart of accounts reads Kontenrahmen on an English screen. See Documents.

One AI feature is an exception and does follow you: Ask the Ledger answers in your language whatever language you type the question in.

Default transaction type names follow the client, not you

A workspace's built-in transaction types are shown in the client's country language, so a Dutch accountant keeping Hungarian books sees the Hungarian terms. That is on purpose: those names have to match what the client's own accountant and authorities use. Categories are not built in: a new workspace starts with none, and the office imports its own list. Anything you rename, or create yourself, is shown exactly as you typed it.

Terms and privacy documents are only shown translated where a reviewed translation exists. Where one does not, you get the English master with a note saying so. Legal text is never machine-translated here.

Before you sign in

You do not have to be signed in to read the app in your language. The sign-in, sign-up and password-reset pages carry a language picker, and so do the invitation, email-verification and legal pages. It is the three words English · Magyar · Deutsch in the corner of the card, with the current one in bold, rather than a dropdown.

With nobody signed in, the app picks a language in this order: a language in the link you followed, then the language of the invitation you were sent, then your browser's preference if it asks for Hungarian or German, then your country if you are in Hungary, Austria or Germany, and English otherwise. So an English-language browser in Hungary gets a Hungarian page, which is intended rather than a fault.

The whole order, signed in or not, is one ladder. The app takes the first rung that applies and stops there.

  1. 1
    The language saved in this browser

    Set the last time anyone picked a language here. It wins over everything below it, and over the language on your own account.

  2. 2
    A language in the link you followed

    A link can carry one. An invitation email always does.

  3. 3
    The language of the invitation you were sent

    The one the person inviting you was working in.

  4. 4
    Your browser, if it asks for Hungarian or German

    A browser asking for English is skipped, which is why an English-language browser in Hungary still gets a Hungarian page.

  5. 5
    Where you are

    Hungary gives Magyar, Austria and Germany give Deutsch. Every other country, Switzerland included, falls through.

  6. 6
    English

    When nothing above applies.

Saving on the Language tab writes your account AND this browser, which is why saving fixes a screen that disagrees with the setting.

Which language the app shows. It stops at the first rung that applies.

If you were invited to a workspace, the invitation arrives in the language the person inviting you chose, and your account is created already set to it. Nothing to change afterwards unless you want to.

Your saved language follows you

Your language is saved on your account. When you sign in, the app switches to it, whatever language the sign-in page was in. That works the same on a new computer, after clearing your browser data, and on a computer someone else used before you: each person gets their own saved language when they sign in.

The language you pick on the sign-in page applies only until you sign in. To change it for good, use the Language tab.

One small thing you will notice

Switching to Hungarian puts your family name before your given name on the profile and sign-up forms, because that is the Hungarian convention.
