## Overview

**Spanish is supported on Express POS.**

Support your team with the language they're most comfortable using to improve clarity, speed, and accuracy during service. Express POS offers both English and Spanish at the device level, on station and handheld.

---

## Change the language on your POS

1. Tap the **hamburger menu icon** (☰) in the top left > **Settings** > **Language**
2. Select **Spanish** or **English**


---

## Key notes

### The language is set per device, not per user

The setting applies to the individual POS you configure. Every staff member who signs in on that device sees the selected language. Set up Spanish and English devices as needed, or apply the same setting across your floor.

### POS interface text is translated

Static text on the POS is translated - for example: navigation menus, section headers, button text, and option names all appear in the language you select.

### Your menu content is not translated

Menu item names, category names, and modifier names are configured in your Dashboard and display exactly as you entered them. To show them in Spanish, update the names in Dashboard.

### Printed kitchen chits follow the POS language

Static text on kitchen chits appears in the language set on the POS. Item names stay as configured in your menu.

### Customer-facing content stays in English

Your Customer-Facing Display (CFD) and customer receipts remain in English no matter which language you choose for the POS.

## Common questions

**Can each staff member set their own language?**  
Not at this time. Language is set per device, so everyone using that POS sees the same language. Per-user preference is being considered for a future release.

**Will my menu items appear in Spanish?**  
No. Menu items, categories, and modifiers display as entered in Dashboard. Only the POS's built-in text is translated.

**Do customer receipts change language too?**  
No. Receipts and the guest-facing display stay in English.

**Can I switch back to English later?**  
Yes. Use the same **Settings > Language** option at any time.

**Does this change my KDS language?**  
No. Each KDS screen is set separately. With Spanish on both POS and KDS, your full front-of-house and back-of-house experience can run in either language.
