Where to change it
Go to Settings, open the Account tab, and find Language Preferences. Set Default Language, then Save Changes. Finthy confirms with “Language updated successfully”.
The three languages
- English
- Spanish (Español)
- Portuguese (Brazil) (Português)
These are the three Finthy is translated into, and the same three the help centre is written in.
What changes
Everything Finthy writes: menus, buttons, screens, the dates and number formats that go with the language, and the emails Finthy sends you. A notification email follows the language set on your account, not the language of whichever device opened it.
What does not change
Your own data stays exactly as you entered it, and so does anything your bank sent:
- Transaction descriptions keep the wording the bank or the statement used.
- Account and bank names keep theirs.
- Categories you created yourself keep the name you gave them. Finthy’s built-in categories are translated; yours are not, because they are your words.
- Notes and references you typed stay as typed.
This is deliberate. Translating a bank’s own description would make a transaction harder to match against a statement, not easier.
Good to know
- It is a per-person setting, not per-space. In a shared space each person reads Finthy in their own language, over the same data.
- Currency is separate. Your Default Currency lives a little further up the same tab and has nothing to do with language: you can read Finthy in Spanish with totals in euros, or in English with totals in pesos.
- If something is still in English after switching, it is a gap in the translation rather than a setting you missed. Telling us which screen is the useful thing to do.
