Budgie in Five Languages

Full UI in English, Ukrainian, French, German, and Spanish — auto-detected from device locale, switchable in-app.

Why privacy-first finance shouldn't be English-only

Privacy-first finance tools are usually English-only. Budgie ships full translations across five languages so non-English-first speakers don't lose features in translation.

Language switching is in-app — no reinstall. Numbers, dates, and currency formats follow the device locale even when the UI language differs.

What you get

Five languages: English, Ukrainian, French, German, Spanish — full UI

Auto-detected from device locale on first launch

In-app switcher — no reinstall, no relaunch

Number, date, and currency format follow the device locale independently

Open-source translations — community can contribute new locales

How it works

Lingui-driven message catalogs ship at install. Settings → Language switches the runtime locale; the app re-renders without reload. Locale-bound formatting (numbers, dates) follows device defaults.
