Gigtime v1.2 adds full multi-language support. It is live now on web and desktop, with iOS and Android rolling out this week. The app, the emails, and the invoices are all translated.
Four languages at launch
Version 1.2 supports English, Spanish, French, and German, the main languages of our user base. The entire app interface is translated: every button, label, menu, dialog, error message, and empty state.
- 1,200+ translation keys across all four languages
- Zero hardcoded strings: every piece of user-visible text goes through the localization system
- Device language detection: the app picks up your phone or browser language on first login
- Manual override: switch languages anytime in Settings, independent of your device language
Client-facing language control
Each client now has a language and date format preference that controls how everything you send them looks:
- Invoice PDFs: all labels (Invoice, Bill To, Amount Due, Subtotal, and so on) render in your client's language
- Invoice emails: the template labels, greeting, and attachment note use the client's language
- Date formatting: dates on invoices and emails use the client's preferred format (MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, or DD.MM.YYYY)
- Email defaults: when you compose an invoice email, the subject and body pre-fill in the client's language
Your app stays in your language while each client sees theirs, and you set it once per client.
Translated notification emails
All notification emails now respect your language preference:
- Invoice overdue reminders
- Timer still running alerts
- Weekly summary reports
- Invoice viewed notifications
- Log hours reminders
The email subject, body, and CTA buttons are all translated. If your app is set to Spanish, your notification emails arrive in Spanish.
Marketing site in four languages
The gigtime.app website is now available in all four languages too. Each page has a language switcher in the header, and search engines will show the right language version based on the searcher's location.
What's next
More languages will follow based on demand. If you'd like to see Gigtime in your language, let us know. We'd welcome help with translations.
Version 1.2 is live now on web and desktop. Desktop apps (Windows, macOS, Linux) auto-update. iOS and Android updates are rolling out through the App Store and Google Play this week. The web app at app.gigtime.app is always up to date.
