1.3 Change your language

Updated

Choose the language Tamanu shows its screens in. You can change it on the Log in screen, or from the sidebar once you have logged in. Tamanu remembers your choice in this web browser.

Before you start

You can change language only if your site has set Tamanu up in more than one language. If you cannot see Language on the Log in screen, or Change language in the sidebar menu, your site uses a single language. Contact your system administrator if you believe you should be able to change it.

  1. Select Language at the bottom right of the Log in screen.
