Language and appearance

Switch between English, German and Spanish, and choose light or dark.

Updated July 26, 2026

Atteny speaks three languages — English, Deutsch and Español — and comes in a light and a dark look. Both are personal choices: you pick them for yourself, and nobody else on your team is affected. There is no company-wide language setting, and admins can't set a language on someone's behalf.

Both controls sit in the top bar of every page, next to your profile picture — there's nothing to save and nothing under Settings.

  1. 1

    Change the language

    Select the globe icon and pick English, Deutsch or Español. The page reloads in the new language and a check mark shows which one is active.

  2. 2

    Switch light or dark

    Select the sun / moon icon next to it. It flips straight between light and dark — light is the starting point for new accounts.

Your choices are remembered in that browser. Sign in from a different browser or computer and you'll set them again there.

Web and phone are independent. Setting German in the app doesn't change the website, and the other way round.

What the language doesn't change

  • Dates, times and money formats follow your company's Settings → General (date format, 24- or 12-hour clock, timezone, currency) — not your language. See Company basics.
  • Notification texts are currently English for everyone — in-app, push and email alerts alike. The notification names you see in Settings are translated, but the messages themselves are not.
  • Invitation emails are the exception: a new hire gets the invite in the language the person who invited them was using.
  • Anything your company typed in — location names, roles, leave types, shift notes — appears exactly as entered.

This help center is available in all three languages too — use the globe icon at the top of any article.
