If multiple languages are enabled you can set your preferred language on the "Profile" page.

Enabling this setting will allow your users and staff to choose their preferred language from the list of installed languages. Do not enable this feature unless you provide support in all of the installed languages!

#### Table prefix

The prefix that will be added to all table names. If set to hesk_ table "users" will actually be named "hesk_users" in your database. This is useful if you want to run multiple installs of Hesk using one MySQL database, just give each install a unique table prefix name (hesk1_, hesk2_, hesk3_, ...)
