Adding a new Language

fa_check

TIP:

Each additional language comes with an added overhead for maintenance.

Languages in SAI360 can be selected country specific, or generic. For example, Dutch is offered in these variations:

  • Dutch (Belgium)
  • Dutch (Netherlands)
  • Dutch

The system will always use the country-specific translation if possible, but will always fall back to the generic "base" language if there is no translation for a user’s country-specific locality.

Step 1, add the required language(s).

  • Log into the web application as an Admin User
  • From the menu, select Designer Menu path separator Languages Menu path separator Maintain Languages
  • Select New
  • Search for the required Language, and save
  • Repeat the above steps until you have added all the required languages
  • As a next step, you must add Localities, as outlined below

IMPORTANT:

To apply locality specific formatting to Date and Decimal Fields, it is required to add the corresponding Language before creating the Locality.
