Change your language
Who can do this
Section titled “Who can do this”- Every team member can change their own interface language — Company Members, Admins, and the Owner alike.
- The setting is per-user, not per-company. Your colleagues’ language stays as they set it.
- Available on every plan.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”Path: Top navigation > avatar (top-right) > My profile > Edit > Language field. Also: Settings & Apps > Members > click your row > Edit — same Language field on your member record.
Uku does not have a header-level language picker. The setting lives only on your profile, which is the most common reason new users start in the wrong language and stay there until told.
Available languages
Section titled “Available languages”Uku is currently available in:
- English (en)
- Estonian (et)
- Finnish (fi)
- Swedish (sv)
- Polish (pl)
The Client Portal uses the same set. New languages are added based on customer demand — contact support if you need a language that is not yet available.
Change the language
Section titled “Change the language”- Click your avatar in the top-right corner of the navigation.
- Select My profile from the menu.
- Click Edit at the top of your profile.
- Open the Language dropdown and pick the language you want.
- Click Save.
Uku reloads with the new language applied. Menu labels, button text, dialogs, and email notifications switch to your selected language. Content you’ve created (task titles, client names, notes) stays as you typed it.
What changes and what doesn’t
Section titled “What changes and what doesn’t”| Changes with language | Stays the same |
|---|---|
| Uku UI labels and menus | Task titles you wrote |
| System emails (notifications, digests, vacation decisions) | Client and contact names |
| Date format hints | Comments and notes |
| Help center deep-links inside the app | Custom field values |
| Error messages | Topic names |
The Help Center itself follows the URL path (/en/... or /et/...) — links in the app open the matching version automatically.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”The Language field is not saving
Section titled “The Language field is not saving”Make sure you clicked Save at the top of the Edit form, not just changed the dropdown. The dropdown is a draft until you save. If the page does not reload, try refreshing manually.
Email notifications still arrive in the old language
Section titled “Email notifications still arrive in the old language”System emails use the language set on your profile at the moment of sending. Change the language, save, then trigger a new notification to verify. Past emails were sent with the previous setting and stay in that language.
A teammate’s interface looks different
Section titled “A teammate’s interface looks different”The setting is per-user. Each member sees the language they have selected. There is no company-wide language override — invite emails default to the inviter’s language and the new member can change it on first login.
The Client Portal language is wrong for a client
Section titled “The Client Portal language is wrong for a client”Client Portal language is set on the contact, not the client company. Open Clients > [client name] > Contacts, click the contact, and change their Language field. The Client Portal reloads in the new language for that contact.
A specific UI label is not translated
Section titled “A specific UI label is not translated”Translation gaps occasionally happen for newly added features. Report them to support — the message will be translated in the next release. The rest of the UI stays in your selected language.
