# Language, region and theme

Choose the app language, how dates and amounts look, the first day of the week and light or dark mode.

These settings are personal: they change how Figa looks for you, not for other members of your workspace.

## Language

Open **Account settings → Preferences** and find **Language & region**. Under **Language**, choose **Automatic** to follow your browser, or one of:

-   English
-   Deutsch
-   Español
-   Français
-   Italiano
-   Polski

## Region: dates, times and amounts

The **Region** decides how dates, times, numbers and amounts look, including what you type. For example, it decides whether you enter `1,200.50` or `1 200,50`. Language and region are separate: you can use Figa in English with German number formats.

Below the region you can override single formats:

-   **Date format**.
-   **Time format**: 24-hour or 12-hour.
-   **Week starts on**: used by calendars and date pickers.

Each one defaults to the region's own setting.

## Items per page

Under **General**, **Items per page** sets how many rows lists show by default. Changing it inside one list applies only to that list.

## Light or dark

Use the theme switch in the app's top bar to change between light and dark mode.

## Cookies

**Cookie preferences** shows the essential cookies, which are always active, and lets you turn optional analytics cookies on or off for this browser.
