Overview

Four languages, chosen per site and per worker.

The four languages are English, Polski, Română and Lietuvių. Each site has a default. Each worker can have their own language, which wins over the site default. At the kiosk, the screen starts in the site's language and switches to the worker's language as soon as their badge is entered.

Before you start

  • Agency console: Admin or super admin to set a site's language on Sites > Locations.
  • Agency console: Admin, super admin or the Coordinator preset to set a worker's language on Workforce > Workers.
  • The client dashboard has no language settings. Ask the agency to set them, or let workers choose in the worker app.

Site Default

The language a kiosk starts in.

Open the site

Agency console: Sites > Locations, then Edit on the site. Not in the client dashboard.

Pick the language

Choose Kiosk language: English, Polski, Română or Lietuvių.

Save

Click Save Changes. Every kiosk at that site starts in this language and returns to it between workers.

Each Worker's Language

Three ways to set it.

Where How
Agency console Workforce > Workers, Edit the worker, set Kiosk language and save. Use site default clears it.
Import The preferred_language column of the import file: en, pl, ro or lt (or the language name in English). See Bulk Importing Workers.
Worker app The worker picks it under Language on their own details page. See Worker App and Phone Clock-in.

At the Kiosk

What the worker sees.

The kiosk starts in the site's language.
After the badge is entered, it switches to the worker's own language in place, with no reload. The face check, PIN, result and any messages after it are in that language.
Anyone can tap a flag in the flag row at the bottom right to change language. A flag tapped during a visit wins over the worker's saved language for that visit.
When the visit ends, the kiosk goes back to the site's language for the next person.
Visitors and contractors can use the flags too.

Beyond the Kiosk

The same language everywhere the worker meets TempClock.

The worker app, in the language the worker chose.
Shift texts, offers, reminders and face set-up emails and texts, with English when no language is set.
Text replies in the worker's own words: TAK, DA or TAIP to accept (YES and NO still work).
The face enrolment page and the face clock-in notice. A translated notice says the English notice is the reference text.
Self-registration from a registration link.
The printable worker guide at /worker/guide.php, which an agency can print in any of the four languages.
