The new multi-language ledgers, groups, types and batches makes it possible for an international company to work in different languages on the same set of books.

This helps to show local investors in their language the balances and turnover of the company. 


The multi-language feature allows different users to use the same set of books in the user language interface. The translation of ledger accounts need to be purchased from the shop. 


By default, each Set of Books will run in the selected language when launching osFinancials for the first time (new installation). You may, if necessary (i.e. incorrect language is selected) or when you need to work in a different language, use Start → Switch language to change the language.


Any language may be customised / edited for your specific requirements on Setup → Tools → Customise language.


In addition to this, you may activate the Multi-Language feature (using any of the available languages in Start → Switch language) in a Set of Books to:

  • Create a Multi-Language User Interface. This makes it possible for a multi-lingual company to work in different languages on the same set of books.
  • Create a Multi-Language Accounts (Chart of Accounts) - This helps to show local investors in their language the balances and turnover of the company.
