ProBackup now speaks French and German

In short: Since July 2026 the ProBackup app runs in five languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German. Each user picks a language under Settings > Profile; it changes only the interface, so backed-up data, exports, Google Drive syncs (Pro and Premium plans) and restored records keep their original content. Backup storage is available in nine AWS regions, including one in Germany.

A backup tool is something you mostly open when something has gone wrong. A board vanished, a sync overwrote the wrong fields, a leaver took their private projects with them. In that moment, nobody wants to translate menus in their head on top of everything else.

So here's a small release we're glad to ship: the ProBackup app is now available in French and German, alongside English, Spanish and Portuguese. Five languages in total. You can switch on your Profile page in a few clicks.

What's changed

Until now the interface ran in English, Spanish and Portuguese. We've added full French and German translations covering the dashboard, backup views, restore flows, reports and settings.

Your backed-up data itself is untouched. A task written in German in ClickUp, or a French-language board in monday.com, is stored and restored exactly as your team wrote it. The language setting only changes what ProBackup's own interface looks like around it.

How to switch languages

  1. Sign in to ProBackup.
  2. Go to Settings > Profile, or open app.probackup.io/settings/profile directly.
  3. Select your preferred language. The interface updates straight away.

The setting is personal. Each team member on the account picks their own language, so an admin in Lyon and a colleague in Hamburg can each work in the language they think in.

ProBackup expert note: The language setting changes the interface only. Exports, Google Drive syncs and restored records keep the original content and field names from your source app, so downstream reports and automations are unaffected.

Why French and German

We're a European company. The team works from Sweden, Belgium and Poland, and our infrastructure runs on AWS. Serving European teams in English only has always felt like a gap, and French and German have been near the top of the request list for a while.

There's a practical side too. Backup and recovery is often owned by IT or operations, but the people who need a restore are the ones who lost the work. The less friction between 'something is missing' and 'it's back', the better, and language is part of that friction.

Backups are stored in the AWS region you choose at signup (nine available); see Where is your SaaS backup stored?.

Try it

If you already use ProBackup, head to your Profile page and pick your language. All five languages are included on every one of our plans. If you manage a multilingual team, it might be worth telling your French- and German-speaking colleagues the option exists. And if any translation reads oddly, tell us. We would rather fix it than have you squint at it.
