Qlero formats dates, numbers and times in two places. Your personal preferences decide how they appear to you in the app. Your record company’s locale decides how they appear in what Qlero sends and generates, such as statements, emails and payment files.

​
Set your personal preferences

Your preferences only apply to you, in every record company you have access to. They don’t change what other users or payees see.
1

Open your profile

Open the user menu and select your name at the top. The Profile window opens on the Preferences tab.
2

Choose a locale

In Locale, search for a language or country. Each option shows a sample date and number, such as 22/11/2026 · 1,234,567.89, so you can compare formats before you choose.
3

Choose a time zone

In Time zone, search for your time zone. Time now shows the current time in the selected zone.
4

Save

Select Save. Qlero refreshes the page with your new formats.
Both settings start on Auto:
  • Auto locale uses your record company’s locale, or your browser’s language when the record company has none.
  • Auto (browser) time zone uses your browser’s time zone.
Your time zone also decides where a day starts and ends in date filters, so filtering on 1 October covers 1 October in your time zone.

​
Set your record company’s locale

You need write access to record company settings.
1

Open the settings

Open the user menu and select Record Company Settings.
2

Choose the locale

On General, check Country, then choose a Locale. Auto (from country) uses the selected country’s formats, for example German (Austria) for Austria.
3

Save

Select Save Changes.
The record company locale changes these outputs: CSV files, such as payment files, period files and report exports, keep a fixed structure so they import the same way everywhere. They always use a semicolon (;) as the delimiter, ISO dates such as 2026-11-22, and no thousands separator. Only the decimal separator follows the locale, for example 1234,56 for German (Germany).

​
Choose a locale for a report

When you create a report, Locale uses your record company’s locale by default. Choose another one when the recipient works with a different number format. You can’t change a report’s locale after you create it. If a payee sees amounts in an unexpected format, check your record company’s locale first, since it decides the formats in statements and emails.
