Change the language in Zooza

Language in Zooza is decided in three separate places, and they work independently:

WhatSet where
Admin panel — menus, buttons, labels you seeSettings → My profile, or the bottom of the Dashboard. Personal to you
Notifications, emails and WhatsApp your clients receiveSettings → General — Application Communication Language. Company-wide
Booking form, calendar and parent zone embedded on your siteYour own website's language setting — parents can switch it themselves on the widget's own language switcher

Mixing up the second and third is the most common language problem, so if you only read one thing, read Which setting controls what.

Change the language you see Zooza in​

Two routes to the same setting — use whichever you reach first:

  • Settings → My profile, in the Application Communication Language card.
  • The Dashboard, at the very bottom of the page. Click the Zooza logo top-left to get there, then scroll down.

The admin panel reloads in the selected language immediately, and the choice is yours alone — every person on the account picks their own.

The same label sits in two places and means two different things — this is the trap. The card on your profile sets your language. The setting of the same name in Settings → General sets the language Zooza writes to parents in. Changing the second because your own menus are wrong switches every notification, email and WhatsApp your clients get, and leaves your screen exactly as it was.

Available admin languages: Slovak, Czech, English, Hungarian, Romanian, and others depending on your account setup.

Change the language Zooza uses towards parents​

This is the company-wide setting. It governs everything Zooza sends to parents and to people registering.

  1. Go to Settings → General (Company information).
  2. Find Application Communication Language.
  3. Select the language your clients use.
  4. Save.

It covers notifications, email text and WhatsApp messages — booking confirmations, payment reminders, session notifications — and the templates they are built from.

Not your own menus. If Zooza shows you the wrong language, this is the wrong setting — see Change the language you see Zooza in above.

The embedded widget and parent zone take their language from your website​

A widget embedded on your own site — the booking form, the calendar, the parent zone — takes its language from your website, not from the setting above. Whatever language your site is set to is the language the widget comes up in.

If the widget shows English day names when you expected Romanian, Slovak or Hungarian, look at your website's language setting. This is worth checking before anything else, because the symptom looks exactly like a Zooza language problem: days of the week in English, texts like "The class will start…" instead of "Grupa va începe…".

For parents who need a different language, the switcher is on the widget itself. The widget can carry its own language switcher, and a parent uses that to change the language for themselves. It is not driven by your website's own language switcher — those are two unrelated controls, and switching the site does not switch the widget.

Custom email templates override the system language. If you have edited a confirmation email template in Slovak, clients will receive the Slovak version regardless of this setting.

Zooza is in the wrong language for me after setup​

If the interface came up in an unexpected language when you first logged in, fix it on your own profile or at the bottom of the Dashboard — both are described above.

If the interface is unreadable, the logo is the safest thing to click. It always returns you to the Dashboard whatever language the menus are in, and the switcher sits at the bottom of that page.

Do not reach for Settings → General. That one changes the language your clients receive, not yours.

Which setting controls what — the short version​

Three separate things, three separate places. Almost every language question is someone reaching for the wrong one of the three.

What is in the wrong languageWhere to change it
The admin panel you are looking atSettings → My profile, or the bottom of the Dashboard
The booking form, calendar or parent zone on your siteYour website's language setting. A parent who needs another language switches it on the widget's own language switcher
Notifications, emails and WhatsApp your clients receiveSettings → General — Application Communication Language

The widget and the emails are not the same setting. Changing the communication language because the booking form is in the wrong language leaves the form exactly as it was, and quietly switches the language of every email your clients receive. Fix the widget on your website; fix the emails in Settings.

If your clients genuinely use two languages, the answer is the widget's own language switcher, which lets each parent pick for themselves. Pair it with language-specific message templates so the emails match what they booked in.
