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
- Sign in to ProBackup.
- Go to Settings > Profile, or open app.probackup.io/settings/profile directly.
- 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.
Why French and German
We're a European company. The team works from Sweden, Belgium and Poland, and our infrastructure runs on AWS in Europe. 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.
Your data can stay in your country
Language is only half of working locally. As of July 2026, ProBackup offers backup storage in nine regions, and one of them is Frankfurt. A German company can now keep its backups on servers in Germany and run the app in German.
This is part of an ongoing effort to better meet local compliance requirements. Data residency alone doesn't make an organisation compliant with GDPR (the EU's General Data Protection Regulation) or with sector-specific rules, but for many German firms, keeping data inside the country is a hard requirement from legal or from customers. Now it's a setting rather than a blocker.
Try it
If you already use ProBackup, head to your Profile page and pick your language. 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.
