Create foreign languages

Users with administrative rights can create an unlimited number of foreign languages and enable them for different areas of the application. The language specified under Administration >  Settings >  Corporation >  Settings > Default language is not included here. That field defaults to German unless a different language is entered.

1. Go to the  Administration tab and select  Languages >  New.
2. Enter the Name of the new language and a Code. An Alternative name is automatically pre-assigned, but can be changed and is optional. Optionally assign a Flag, which is displayed as an icon for this language.
3. Use the Sort number to specify the order in which languages are listed. If the sort number is not unique, the languages will be sorted alphabetically.
4. Select a Dictionary for machine translation from the picklist (Install Hunspell dictionaries).
5. Enable language selection:
   1. For  Accounts: to allow one language setting per account or contact person. If a foreign language is assigned to an account, any existing letter templates are automatically called up in this language.
   2. For  Items: to enable the entry of foreign-language item texts as required for multilingual text templates.
   3. For  Mail/Email : to input foreign-language versions of German mail or other text templates (mail, email, quotes, menu cards, etc.).
   4. If no text templates are to be entered in this language, click on the  expand triangle to enter a  Replacement language. Mail in this alternative language are then available for accounts assigned the new language.
      Example: "Dutch" can be assigned in an account, but no text templates are translated into Dutch. Alternatively, "English" is selected here and the customers receive English text templates.
6.  Save your input by clicking on the icon in the top left-hand corner of the input window.
