Add and manage users

Add a language for your team

2 min read Updated 2026-08-21 WindoorERP 19.0

What this does

Installs an extra language in the database so users can work — and receive their emails and documents — in it.

Steps

You select the language of your database upon its creation. However, you can add and install additional languages to allow users to manage the database in another language or to translate your website.

01
Open the Settings app and click Add Languages in the Languages section. (The (globe) icon next to the Language field in My profile does the same thing.)
02
Pick the languages from the dropdown and click Add.
03
Wait for the installation to finish — on a large database it takes a minute.

Add languages

To download additional languages:

either click the profile icon in the upper-right corner, select My profile, and click the (globe) icon next to the Language field;
or go to the Settings app, and click Add Languages in the Languages section.

You can then select the languages you want from the dropdown menu and click Add.

Change languages

To select their preferred language, users can click the profile icon in the upper-right corner, go to My profile, and select a Language in the dropdown list.

Change another user's language

To change the database language for a user:

Go to the Settings app and click Manage Users in the Users section.
Click on the user whose language you want to change.
Go to the Preferences tab and select a previously installed language from the Language dropdown menu.

Note

Emails and documents will be sent to the user in the selected language.

Common mistakes

Setting a language on a user before installing it — only installed languages appear in the dropdown.
Expecting the change to apply to everyone: language is per account. Each user picks their own from My Profile.
