Can I use CleanManager in other languages than English, German, and Danish?
The answer to that question is; Kind of.
In CleanManager, you have the option to select one of the three following languages for the system language: English, German, and Danish. By selecting one of these languages, the system language will be translated. In other words, the different categories of the menu and all the standardized texts.
But what can you do if your employees do not understand one of the three languages? And what can you do if you yourself would prefer to use the system in your native language, which is not one of the three choices?
In this article, we will showcase where and how you can change the language in the system, so it becomes accessible.
|
INFO: The language we will use in this article as an example is Polish. |
In this article, you will learn where you can add your own native language to CleanManager:
Cleaning types
The cleaning types can be seen by the employees and the customers. It is, however, also possible to use two different names for a cleaning type; the name the employees and the customers can see in the calendar and then the name, the customer can see on their invoice.

Cleaning plans
Cleaning plans can be accessed by employees and customers who have been granted access to the system. The cleaning plans are accessible in even more languages, which enables you to translate the cleaning tasks. In case the language you want to use is not available, you can order a new language for a price. For more information regarding this, please contact support at: support@cleanmanager.uk
