Change language, region, and time formats in ClickUp

In ClickUp, you can quickly update your personal language, region, and time and date formats so your workspace feels familiar and matches your local settings.

These preferences are set per user, so each person in your Workspace can choose the options that work best for them without affecting other members.

Understanding personal settings in ClickUp

Your language and regional preferences in ClickUp are part of your personal profile. They control how dates, times, and some interface elements appear for your account.

Updating these settings will:

• Change the display language where supported.
• Adjust date and time formatting to match your locale.
• Update how numbers and regional formats appear.

These options are fully customizable by each user and do not require admin permissions.

How to open your ClickUp profile settings

To change your language, region, and time and date formats, you first need to access your profile in ClickUp.

1. Sign in to your ClickUp Workspace.

2. Locate your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the lower-left corner of the screen.

3. Click your avatar to open the user menu.

4. Select Settings or Profile settings from the menu.

This opens the personal settings area where you can adjust various preferences for your account.

Change your language in ClickUp

You can select your preferred interface language so that ClickUp feels more natural to use.

Steps to update language in ClickUp

1. From your profile settings, find the Language section.

2. Open the language dropdown menu.

3. Choose your preferred language from the available list.

4. Save or confirm your changes if prompted.

Once updated, supported texts in the interface will appear in your selected language. Some system-generated content or user-entered text will remain in its original language.

Set your region in ClickUp

Your region setting controls how regional formats are displayed. This is especially helpful if your location uses different standards for dates, times, or numbers.

Steps to change region in ClickUp

1. In your profile settings, go to the Region section.

2. Open the region or locale dropdown.

3. Select the region that best matches your location or preferred formatting.

4. Save your changes.

After you adjust the region, ClickUp will apply the regional rules associated with your selection.

Adjust time and date formats in ClickUp

You can fine-tune how dates and times appear so they follow the format you use most often.

Common time and date options in ClickUp

Depending on your region, you can typically set:

• Time format (for example, 12-hour or 24-hour clock).
• Date format (for example, MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, or YYYY-MM-DD).
• Combined date and time display for due dates, start dates, and other schedule-based fields.

Steps to change time and date formats

1. Open your profile settings in ClickUp.

2. Locate the Time & date or similar section.

3. Choose your preferred time format from the available options.

4. Select your desired date format.

5. Review a sample if one is shown, then save your settings.

Once updated, you will see the new formats across views, tasks, calendars, and other areas where dates and times appear.

How these ClickUp settings affect your Workspace

Changing your language, region, and time and date formats only affects your personal view in ClickUp.

• Workspace-wide data is unchanged. Tasks, projects, and docs remain shared and consistent.
• Other members keep their own preferences. Each user can choose different settings without conflict.
• Notifications follow your format. In-app notifications and some email content will reflect your chosen time and date style where applicable.

This approach allows global teams to collaborate in the same Workspace while each person uses their own familiar formats.

Troubleshooting language and region changes in ClickUp

If your updates do not appear immediately, try the following checks:

• Refresh the page. Reload your ClickUp browser tab after saving changes.
• Log out and back in. Signing out and then back in can reload your profile settings.
• Check browser language. Ensure your browser or device language does not override some visual elements.
• Confirm your Workspace. Make sure you are updating settings in the correct ClickUp Workspace if you belong to multiple Workspaces.

If problems continue, compare your steps with the official instructions on the ClickUp help center article about changing language and region.

Best practices for global teams using ClickUp

When teams collaborate across time zones, consistent usage of language and formats in ClickUp helps everyone stay aligned.

• Agree on a default date style in naming conventions for tasks and documents.
• Use clear time zone references in task descriptions and comments, especially for deadlines and meetings.
• Encourage each member to update their personal region, time, and date settings to reduce confusion.

These habits, combined with individual preferences, make it easier to interpret dates and schedules at a glance.
