Language & Region
Pick the language Subscriby displays in, and set your timezone so dashboards, schedules, and billing dates match where you actually are.
By the end of this page, you'll know how to make Subscriby speak your language, and how to keep every time shown on the dashboard in your own timezone.
Localization settings live at Settings → Localization (URL: /settings/localization). The page has two independent sections — Language and Timezone — each with its own Save Changes button so you can update them separately.
Supported languages
Subscriby ships with ten fully-translated languages for the creator dashboard:
| Native label | English name | Code |
|---|---|---|
| English | English | en |
| Français | French | fr |
| Español | Spanish | es |
| Italiano | Italian | it |
| हिन्दी | Hindi | hi |
| বাংলা | Bengali | bn |
| Deutsch | German | de |
| Português | Portuguese | pt |
| Türkçe | Turkish | tr |
| සිංහල | Sinhalese | si |
The language picker shows native labels, not English ones — so you can always find your own language even if the dashboard is currently in a language you don't read.
Change your language
Go to Settings → Localization.
In the Language section, pick your preferred language from the dropdown. Options are listed in their native script.
The dashboard re-renders in your chosen language. All menus, settings, and flash messages update immediately.
Dashboard UI only. Your language choice affects what you see in the creator dashboard. What your subscribers see inside your project portal and bot is configured separately — per project — so you can run, say, an English-language community in Portuguese branding or vice versa.
Where your timezone comes from
Subscriby detects it from your browser the first time you sign in, and the Timezone section tells you which of three states you are in:
| What the section says | What it means |
|---|---|
| "This is the timezone you chose" | You picked it yourself. Nothing will ever change it but you. |
| "Detected from your browser" | We read it from your browser. Detection may revise it if your browser changes. |
| "You have never set this…" | Neither happened, so the account is showing a default rather than a real answer. |
A default is not an answer
The third state is the one that bites. Every time you enter — access window slots, coupon start and end dates, scheduled sends — is read in your account timezone, and every screen afterwards renders that same zone. So a wrong value never contradicts itself: the schedule looks right everywhere and fires at the wrong hour.
While the account is in that state, time-limited pass plans cannot be activated. Choosing a timezone below — even the one already shown — confirms it and clears the block.
If detection disagrees with what is stored, you get a banner offering both zones with their current offsets. Whichever you pick, anything you already scheduled stays exactly where it is — the change applies only to times you enter afterwards. That matters because sold pass windows are fixed commitments and cannot be moved.
Change your timezone
On the same Settings → Localization page, scroll to the Timezone section.
Pick your timezone from the dropdown. Timezones use the standard IANA naming
convention, e.g. America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Colombo,
Asia/Kolkata.
All times shown across the dashboard — signup dates, renewal dates, activity feed timestamps — now display in your selected timezone.
A zone you picked is never overwritten. Once you save here, travelling does not move it — the dashboard stays in the one you chose, so billing data and reports stay consistent across trips. Change it manually when you relocate long-term.
Detection only ever revises a zone you have not confirmed. This is deliberate: scheduling for an audience in another country is a perfectly good reason to run on a timezone that is not your own, and we will not "correct" it for you.
How language and timezone are used elsewhere
Emails
Notifications render in your selected language where translations exist. Untranslated strings fall back to English.
Invoices
Invoices use your language and timezone for dates, currency formatting, and headings — so accounting stays consistent with the rest of your dashboard.
Activity logs
Timestamps in the project activity timeline are rendered in your account timezone, not UTC. Reports align with your working day.
Scheduled tasks
Bulk emails, scheduled broadcasts, and other scheduled actions respect your timezone. Schedule "Send Monday at 9am" and that's 9am in your time, not UTC.
