Multilingual app for international teams

Multilingual time tracking in 13 languages: employees clock in and out in their own language – with no training and no errors. Ideal for construction, cleaning and field service.

13 languages – one app, no language barrier

On construction sites, in cleaning facilities and in field service, teams from many countries work together. When the time-tracking app is only available in German, employees make mistakes, are reluctant to ask questions, and foremen spend their time explaining rather than working. Jobilino solves this: each employee selects their language at login – the app adapts instantly.
  • German, English, Serbian, Albanian, Hungarian, Turkish
  • Slovak, Romanian, Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, Croatian
  • Language selection at login – automatic and instant
  • Features remain identical – only the interface changes

What happens when the app only supports German

A Serbian employee on the construction site sees a German screen with terms like project assignment, absence request or break policy. He taps somewhere, books incorrectly or not at all. The foreman only notices on Friday. The office follows up, makes corrections and loses hours on rework. Multilingual time tracking prevents exactly this scenario – from the very first working day.
  • Incorrect bookings due to an interface that is not understood
  • Foremen acting as translators instead of supervisors
  • The office spends hours on corrections and follow-up queries
  • New employees need days of onboarding instead of minutes

Why 13 languages and not just English

In theory, many employees speak English. In practice – on the construction site at 6:30 in the morning or in a cleaning facility in the evening – people need the language in which they feel confident. Not the language they learned at school. The 13 languages in Jobilino are precisely the languages that are actually spoken in construction, cleaning, and service companies in the DACH region.
  • Serbian and Croatian: the largest group in construction in Austria
  • Turkish and Albanian: strongly represented in cleaning and hospitality
  • Romanian, Bulgarian, Polish: growing teams in construction and logistics
  • Hungarian, Slovak, Czech: commuters and border-region teams

What most time-tracking apps don't offer

Most time-tracking apps on the market are available in 2 to 3 languages – typically German, English and sometimes French. For a construction company with Serbian and Croatian employees, or a cleaning business with Albanian and Turkish teams, that simply isn't enough. Jobilino offers 13 languages, specifically tailored to the countries of origin of employees in construction, cleaning and field service across the DACH region. This is not a luxury feature – it is the fundamental prerequisite for the app actually being used.

Language selection at login

Every employee in their own language

At first login, the employee selects their language. From that moment on, all texts, buttons, menus and hints are displayed in that language. No detour through settings, no IT support required. Employees who do not speak German are productive from the very first minute.

Administration remains in German

One language in the back end, many languages in the field

The language of the employee app has no effect on the dashboard. Team leaders and administration continue to work in German – all evaluations, reports and exports are consistent, regardless of the language in which the employee clocked in.

New employees onboarded in minutes

No translating, no explaining

A new employee installs the app, selects their language and clocks in. No foreman needs to explain which button does what. No team leader needs to translate screenshots. Onboarding takes minutes instead of days – particularly valuable in industries with high staff turnover.

NFC location verification in any language

Clock in during the day – in your own language

The NFC time tracking works regardless of the selected language. The employee holds their smartphone up to the NFC tag at the work location – the confirmation appears in their language. Location verification and project assignment work automatically.

Project assignment without confusion

Project lists in plain language

Project names are displayed exactly as stored in the system – but all surrounding texts, labels and notes are in the employee's language. This reduces mix-ups during project assignment and ensures clean project time tracking without rework.

Industries where multilingual time tracking is essential

Wherever teams from different countries work together, the language of the app determines whether it gets used or not.

Construction and Trades

Teams with Serbian, Croatian and Romanian employees – everyone clocks in in their own language, while the site supervisor keeps the overview.

Building Cleaning

Cleaning staff from Turkey, Albania and Bulgaria clock in via NFC on site – confirmation in their own language provides reassurance.

Facility Management

Building maintenance, winter services and technical support – international teams working at different locations every day.

Logistics and Production

Shift teams in warehouses and production halls with employees from Poland, Hungary and Slovakia – clear time tracking without language barriers.

FAQ

Häufige Fragen zur mehrsprachigen Zeiterfassung

In which languages is Jobilino available?

Jobilino is available in 13 languages: Albanian, Bulgarian, German, English, Italian, Croatian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian. The languages have been specifically selected to reflect the countries of origin of employees in construction, cleaning and field services in the DACH region.

Does each language require its own app?

No. There is one app for all languages. Each employee selects their language at login – the interface adapts instantly. The features remain identical; only the texts and labels change.

Can the supervisor see which language an employee is working in?

The language has no effect on the data. All evaluations, reports and exports in the dashboard are in German – regardless of the language in which the employee clocked in.

How many languages do other time-tracking apps offer?

Most competitors offer 2 to 3 languages – typically German, English and French. For businesses with Serbian, Croatian, Albanian, Turkish or Romanian employees, that is not sufficient. With 13 languages, Jobilino is considerably more broadly positioned.

Does multilingual support also work with NFC clock-ins?

Yes. The confirmation after the NFC scan appears in the employee's language. The NFC tag itself is language-independent – the smartphone detects the tag and the app displays the feedback in the selected language.

Can we request additional languages?

Yes. If a language required by your team is not yet available, please get in touch with us. New languages can be added when there is sufficient demand.

Does multilingual support speed up the onboarding of new employees?

Considerably. A new employee installs the app, selects their language and clocks in – without any explanation from the foreman, without translated instructions and without a days-long induction. In industries with high staff turnover, this saves time every single week.

Is the multilingual app also worthwhile for small businesses?

Yes. Small businesses with 5 to 20 employees in particular benefit greatly, because they often have no office team to catch and correct mistakes. When every employee records their own hours correctly, follow-up work is eliminated entirely.
