Default language settings (DE and EN)
Published:
Updated:
The default language setting controls the language your tenant uses across MobilityManager. Two languages are offered: German (DE) and English (EN). This article explains where to set it and how it relates to other language-driven features.
Required permission
The language is a tenant setting on the tenant settings page (/admin/tenant-settings). Saving it requires settings:manage.
The options
- DE — Deutsch (the default).
- EN — English.
The default is German, reflecting the product's core German-speaking market. Choose the language your administrators and fleet managers work in.
Set the default language
- Open
/admin/tenant-settings. - In general settings, choose the language from the dropdown.
- Save. The setting applies to the tenant.
Note: The tenant language is stored as a short code (DE or EN). It sets the tenant-wide default; individual users may still experience some UI text in their own browser language where the interface supports per-user language.
How language relates to other features
- Email templates are language-specific. Maintain a DE and an EN copy of each message; the right one is chosen by language at send time.
- Localization labels for Beleg workflow states and types are stored per language and fall back to the default (English) when a translation is missing.
- Currency formatting is a separate setting (an ISO 4217 currency code) and is not changed by the language choice.
Tip: When you switch the tenant language, review your email templates and localization labels for that language. A missing EN template or label falls back to the default and may read out of place.
Verify the setting
- Reopen the tenant settings and confirm the selected language.
- Send or preview a notification to confirm the correct language template is used.
Warning: The language dropdown offers only DE and EN. Do not expect other languages to be selectable; unsupported values are not part of the tenant settings options.
