If something goes wrong
Could not save your profile. Please try again.
TEISENDA did not accept the values: a name exceeds 120 characters, the phone number does not meet its requirements, or the time zone or language is unknown. The same message appears if the request failed. Correct the entry and save again.
The name field is highlighted
The name exceeds 120 characters. Shorten it; the message below the field may be in English.
The phone number field is highlighted
The phone number is neither empty nor 5 to 40 characters consisting of digits, spaces and the characters + ( ) / . -. The word “phone” alone appears below the field, in every language. Use only these characters, or clear the field.
More questions about your profile
What happens if I save empty first and last names?
Both fields may be empty. If you save both empty, your account keeps its previous name; it appears in the menu behind your initials.

More questions about language
Which languages are available, and which applies when?
The app offers 16 languages. When signed in, your profile's language applies. Otherwise, the chosen language or a link's ?lang= parameter takes priority, followed by the browser language, then German. Registration adopts the page's language. Emails use the recipient account's language, or German if none is stored.
