Salonipy runs entirely in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Bengali or Roman Urdu — menus, receipts, reports, your online booking page and the tablet your clients tap. Arabic runs right-to-left. Switching takes one tap and changes nothing you have typed.
Plenty of salon software claims to be multilingual and then translates the marketing site while the app itself stays in English. Salonipy translates the part your team touches all day: every menu, button, form label, toast message, printed receipt and report — plus the online booking page your clients open and the tablet kiosk they tap at the counter.
What it does not touch is your own data. Client names, service names, prices, notes and your WhatsApp message templates stay exactly as you typed them, in whatever language you typed them. Switch the app from English to Arabic and your service list still reads the way you wrote it.
The language setting lives on the device, not on the salon account. On the same account and the same data, an owner can run English on a laptop while the receptionist runs Roman Urdu on the counter tablet and a senior stylist runs Arabic on her phone. Nobody has to agree on one language for the whole shop.
Choosing Arabic mirrors the whole interface — navigation, forms, buttons, totals and receipts all flip to right-to-left. That is a different job from translating the words and leaving them in a left-to-right frame, and it is the difference between an app an Arabic-speaking team can actually work in and one they tolerate.
The default. Every screen, receipt and report ships in English, and it is the language the app falls back to if a phrase has not been translated yet.
Simplified Chinese throughout, including the tablet self-service menu clients tap by the door. Prepaid 套餐 and 会员卡 are tracked visit by visit, and payment method — 微信支付, 支付宝, 银行卡 or 现金 — is recorded on every bill so 日结 reconciles.
Used most in: China
Hindi across appointments, billing, stock and staff payout — useful when the owner reads English but the team at the counter does not. Works alongside INR pricing and WhatsApp reminders.
Used most in: India
Spanish for both Spain and Latin America: citas, caja, reservas online, bonos and comisiones. Bonos and paquetes with a set number of sesiones are deducted automatically, visit by visit.
French across agenda, caisse, réservation en ligne, stock and commissions. In Morocco a team can mix it with Arabic — each person picks the language they read fastest.
Portuguese for Brazil and Portugal. The comanda splits commission per line, so one ticket can pay three professionals correctly — which is how most Brazilian salões actually work.
Russian across запись, касса, склад and зарплата мастеров. Расходники come off the shelf automatically per service, so the margin on colour work is visible instead of guessed at.
Used most in: Russia
Bengali across appointments, billing, stock and staff — for parlours and salons whose counter staff work in Bangla rather than English.
Used most in: Bangladesh
Arabic with a genuine right-to-left layout — the whole interface mirrors, rather than leaving translated words sitting in a left-to-right frame. Used across the Gulf, Egypt and North Africa.
Used most in: UAE · Saudi Arabia · Egypt · Qatar · Kuwait
Urdu written in the Latin alphabet — the way most Pakistani salon staff already type on their phones. Easier to read at speed than Nastaliq on a small screen, and no keyboard change needed.
Used most in: Pakistan
Ten: English, Chinese (Simplified), Hindi, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Bengali, Arabic and Roman Urdu. Each one covers the entire app — menus, buttons, receipts, reports, the online booking page and the tablet kiosk.
Two places: the language picker at the bottom of the login screen, or Settings › Salon Profile › Language once you are inside. It applies immediately — no reinstall, no reload and nothing to re-enter.
No. Only the app’s own wording changes. Client names, service names, prices, notes and message templates stay exactly as you typed them, in whatever language you typed them.
Yes. Choosing Arabic mirrors the entire interface to right-to-left — navigation, forms, receipts and buttons — rather than placing Arabic text inside a left-to-right layout.
Yes. The language setting is stored on each device, not on the salon account. The owner can use English on a laptop while the receptionist uses Roman Urdu on the counter tablet, on the same account and the same data.
The booking link and the tablet kiosk open in the language your salon has selected, so clients read your services and prices in the language you chose.
No. All ten languages are included in every plan, including the 7-day free trial.
