Language settings: display language vs data language
Display language switches all on-screen text and can be changed any time. Data language decides what language built-in data (reason codes, statuses, document templates) uses — it is set at tenant creation and locked afterwards.
Open Admin → Organization settings. The market basics — default language, base currency, document date format, timezone and unit system — are kept in the Organization card on the left, in one place. The Regional & document settings card next to it holds the data language and the industry profile.
Display language: change it any time#
Display language switches the language of all on-screen text (menus, buttons, page titles). New users without a language choice start with the tenant’s display language. You can change it any time — nothing else is affected.
Data language: set once, then locked#
Data language decides what language the built-in data uses: reason codes, statuses, document templates and other seeded reference data. It is chosen on the New Tenant form (default English) and cannot be changed afterwards — the setting shows as read-only and the API rejects any attempt to change it.
The other settings on this page#
- Base currency (Organization card): invoices without a merchant currency use this.
- Document date format (Organization card): generated documents use this date format.
- Timezone (Organization card): Drayage free days left are counted in calendar days of this timezone.
- Unit system (Organization card): imperial (lb · in · °F) or metric (kg · cm · °C) — used wherever weights and sizes are shown.
- Industry profile: controls which industry-specific field groups appear (e.g. food / cold-chain fields).
- Brand logo (Brand card on this page): upload your organization logo here and it can appear in the header of documents such as A4 packing lists. A client’s own logo (set on the client’s page) takes priority; if neither side has a logo, documents print with no brand image at all — never a placeholder.
