Spanish Language Support

Agencies can now request the Spanish language feature set to be turned on in their DataPlus databases. This feature allows Caregivers and Managers to toggle between English and Spanish in Time Tracking, Staff Scheduling, Employee Care and Client Care.

Only staff and manager-related screens have been translated into Spanish. Sandata does not recommend Administrators turn Spanish on.

This feature is activated by Sandata System Administration. Contact Client Care for details, setup, and guidance.

  1. Click the arrow next to your user name in the top right corner and select User Settings.

The following screens that are not typically visible to Staff and Managers are not translated:

  • Positions, Event Management, Employment Tracking

  • Administrator screens (System Configuration, Setup Lists)

  • eLearnings and User Guides

  • Data (Text in fields and memos, notes in notebooks, items in setup lists, items in defined lists)
