Language Management & Translations

Multi-Language Support

Quickenerp supports 50+ languages. The interface, reports, website, and customer portal can all be translated. Each user can choose their preferred language.

Installing a Language

1. Go to Settings > General Settings.
2. In the "Language/Translations" section, click Load a Translation.
3. Select the language from the dropdown (e.g. French, Spanish, German, Japanese).
4. Click Load. Quickenerp installs the translation pack – this may take a few minutes.
5. The language is now available for users to select in their preferences.

How Translations Work

Quickenerp uses a three-tier translation system:

1. Module Translations – Pre-built translation files shipped with each module. These translate standard interface terms (labels, buttons, messages).
2. User-Customised Translations – YOU can override any translated term. Go to Settings > Technical > Translations > Custom Translations (developer mode). This is useful when you prefer different terminology (e.g. "Clients" instead of "Customers").
3. Language-Specific Data – Some data records can have translated fields. For example, a product can have different names and descriptions per language. Enable "Translatable" on any text field in the field definition (Technical – Fields).

User Language Selection

Each user can set their own interface language:

1. Click the user avatar (top-right) – My Profile.
2. In the Preferences tab, select the Language field.
3. Save. The interface reloads in the selected language.

Fiscal Localisation Packages

Localisation packages include country-specific chart of accounts, taxes, fiscal positions, and report templates. Go to Accounting > Configuration > Settings – "Fiscal Localisation" section.

Select your country to install the appropriate localisation:

Each localisation package installs the chart of accounts, default tax templates, fiscal position rules for intra-community trading, and statutory report templates.
