# How to change your language, region, and timezone

**For:** Manager | Shift worker | Admin
**You'll need:** Nothing.

You'll set the language {{ app_name }} talks to you in, the regional formats it uses for dates, times, and numbers, and the timezone your schedule is shown in.

## Open your settings

1. Open the account dropdown (top-right) and click **'Settings'**.
2. Find the **'Language and region'** section.

## Set your language

1. Open the **'Language'** dropdown.
2. Choose your language.

The new language is activated on every request after you save.

## Set your region

1. Open the **'Region'** dropdown.
2. Choose your region (for example **'Switzerland'**, **'Germany'**, **'United States'**).

Region drives the format of dates (`09.05.2026` vs `5/9/2026`), times (24-hour vs AM/PM), and numbers (`1.234,56` vs `1,234.56`).

## Set your timezone

1. Open the **'Timezone'** dropdown.
2. Choose your timezone (for example **'Europe/Zurich'**).

Shift times, time entries, and reports are displayed in this timezone.

## Save

Click **'Save'**.

## Verify it worked

Reload the page. The interface should be in the new language. The header date and any times on the schedule should match the chosen region's format and timezone.
