Your settings.

The You tab in Account: password, language, how reports are translated, and one email for more than one company.

How to · 5 November 2026

Open More, then Account settings. The Account screen has a row of tabs along the top. Which tabs you see depends on your role. Everyone gets You and Places on a boat. Owners and admins also get Team and Company, and the owner gets Billing. This article is about the You tab, the part that is about your own login.

What is on the You tab

  • Your companies, if your email belongs to a company.
  • Password. Type a new one of at least 10 characters twice and tap Set password. A password means you can sign in anywhere without waiting on an email, which matters on a dock.
  • Language. More on this below.
  • This device, with a Sign out button. It signs out this phone only.
  • Delete account, at the bottom, kept out of the way on purpose.

There is no screen today for changing your own name or phone number. Ask the person who runs your account if one needs correcting, or tell us from the Menu with Send feedback.

Change your language

On the You tab, under Language, pick yours from the list. Your screens switch to it. The app speaks nine languages, each shown by its own name:

English, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Nederlands, Português (Portugal), Português (Brasil) and 简体中文.

The note above the picker says it plainly: your screens, in your language. Reports stay in the company's language. So a tech who works in Spanish can run checks in Spanish without changing what the owner reads.

Reports are written in the account holder's language

Owners and admins see a second picker under it, for the company. It says the company writes and reads the language chosen, that every report is written in it whatever language the tech ran the check in, and that a note written in another language is translated with the original kept.

That matters when your crew and your customers do not share a language. A note typed in Portuguese by a tech shows in the report in the company's language, marked Translated from that language, and the original text stays available. The label tells the reader that what they are looking at has been translated and is not the tech's own words. Changing the company language changes the language reports are written in from then on.

The company language is first set when you sign up. The sign up form has a Language field, already set to your phone's language, with a line saying your reports are written in it. A tech who joins from an invite picks their own language on that screen, and it never changes the company's.

If you spot a wrong word on a screen, tell us with Send feedback in the Menu.

More than one company on one email

One login can work across several companies, for example if you work for a management company and also run your own. There are two ways to add one:

  1. You are invited. Sign in, open the invite link and tap Join. See join your company on YachtGrade.
  2. You start another. On the You tab, under Your companies, tap Add a company, type its name, agree to the Terms and tap Add the company. You are its owner.

To move between them, use Switch beside a company on the You tab, or Switch company in the Menu, which shows up once you have more than one. The current company says You are here. If photos or answers are still uploading from the phone, the switch waits and tells you how many are left, so nothing is lost on the way.

If boats seem to be missing after you switch, check which company you are in. More fixes are in trouble signing in.

Common questions

How do I change the language in YachtGrade?
Open More, then Account settings. On the You tab, pick your language under Language. Your screens change.

Does changing my language change the language of the reports?
No. Your own setting changes your screens. Reports are written in the company's language, which owners and admins set in the second picker under Language.

What does Translated from mean on a report?
It marks text that was written in another language and translated into the report's language. The original text is kept.

Can I change my name or phone number?
Not from the You tab today. Ask your account owner or tell us with Send feedback in the Menu.

How do I use YachtGrade for two companies with one email?
Join the second one from its invite link, or tap Add a company under Your companies on the You tab. Switch between them from the Menu or the You tab.

Where do I set a password?
On the You tab, under Password. At least 10 characters, typed twice, then tap Set password.
