In the Mambu UI, labels are used to define terms for various entities such as clients, groups, and branches, which can be customized to align with an organization’s terminology. Users can access and modify these labels through the Mambu UI by navigating to Administration > General Setup > Labels. To edit a label, select the desired language, find the label to change, click Actions > Edit, and enter the new terms in both singular and plural forms before saving the changes. The updated labels will be visible immediately. Additionally, while the Mambu UI can be configured for non-English languages, labels are not automatically translated. Therefore, it is advisable to customize labels to ensure the correct terminology is displayed in the preferred language. This flexibility allows organizations to tailor the Mambu experience to their specific needs and language preferences.
In the Mambu UI, we use labels to define the specific terms that are used to refer to various basic entities and concepts. For example, by default, we refer to various entities in the Mambu UI as clients, groups, branches, and so forth. These terms are customizable, and you may change them to match whatever terminology you use for these concepts in your organization. You can view your labels via the Mambu UI at Administration > General Setup > Labels.

Customized labels apply to the Mambu UI only. The corresponding terms in the Mambu API will not be affected.
The default labels that can be changed are:
- Clients
- Groups
- Branches
- Centres
- Credit officers
- Interest
- Fees
- Loan
Editing labels
To edit the default labels:
- On the main menu, go to Administration > General Setup > Labels.
- In the Language dropdown, select the language for which you want to change the label.
- Find the label you want to edit in the list.
- Select Actions > Edit.
- Enter the new labels in both singular and plural forms.
- Select Save Changes.
You will see the new labels immediately after saving the changes.

Labels and Mambu Display Language Settings
The Mambu UI may be configured to use non-English languages. If you set a user profile to use a non-English language, terms that are defined by labels are not automatically translated.
In this case, we recommend using labels to configure the Mambu UI to use the desired terms in the appropriate language. For more information, see Language Settings.
