Change your profile language

In this article you'll learn how to change your profile language in Kenjo and what effect this has on your view and system elements.

Open Personal Settings

If you want to use Kenjo in a different language, navigate directly to your personal user account. If you're already logged in, you can quickly access it via your profile picture.

  • Click on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner.

  • Select Settings from the menu.

  • Navigate to the Account section.


Select Your Preferred Language

If you set a new language, the system immediately updates the entire navigation. If you choose a language you're still learning, make a note of the position of the save button.

  • Find the Language dropdown field.

  • Select your preferred language (e.g. German, English, or Spanish).

  • Click the Save button.

Note: This change only affects your own view. If you change the language, your colleagues' interfaces remain unaffected.


Check the Impact on Content

If you change the language, Kenjo translates all fixed system elements such as menus and buttons. However, if you have created your own content such as job descriptions, these will remain in the original language.

  • Check after switching that all menu items have loaded correctly.

  • Note that system emails will also be sent in the new language going forward.

Example: If you switch your language to English, the menu item Abwesenheit becomes Attendance. However, if an employee submitted a leave request with the comment "Sommerurlaub", that text remains unchanged.


Troubleshooting Browser Issues

If the language is not saved permanently, you should check your browser settings. If your browser automatically translates web pages, this can interfere with Kenjo's system logic.

  • Disable the automatic translation feature for the Kenjo domain.

  • Clear the cache if the change doesn't take effect immediately.

Tip: It's best to use the language most commonly used in your team. If you want to discuss technical terms with your manager, this helps avoid misunderstandings caused by different labels.
