Warning: If you add a language, enable a language, or change a language’s padding factor, after you save the language, you must rebuild the snapshot tables for any repositories that have multi-language snapshot table support. To reduce the impact of adding a language or editing a language, you may want to wait until after normal work hours.
To add or edit a language in the Language List:
To add a new language to the Language List, open the Activity dropdown list, and select New.
To edit a language that is already in the Language List, select the language, open the Activity dropdown list, and select Edit.
The Language Editor will appear. Edit its fields as desired:
Name: The name of the language. This is a multi-language field. The names you enter for Name and its language variant values are used to display the list of available languages.
Extension: Enter the text string that will be used as the language’s extension. To make maintenance easier, use a standard language code like ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-2/T. The Language Extension must match the <language-extension> value in the language files:
eMessages_<language-extension>.properties
eMessages_<language-extension>_utf8.properties
<language-extension>.json
Description: (Optional) Enter a description of the language. This is a multi-language field.
Padding Factor: Ignore this field.
Enable: This determines if the language will be included in the list of languages that can be used as the session language and will be available for multi-language fields.
Yes: The language is enabled.
No: The language is disabled.
Available Groups and Selected Groups: Select on or more user groups and use the arrow buttons to move them from one list to the other.
Selected Groups: The language will be available for the user groups in this list.
Available Groups: The language will not be available for the user groups in this list.
When you are finished editing the language, click Save.
Clear the cache.
If you added a language, enabled a language, or changed a language’s padding factor, rebuild the snapshot tables for any repositories that have multi-language snapshot table support.
