Languages

ConSol CM can be configured to offer localization functionalities for the Web Client in one or more of any number of languages. In the Admin Tool, this is configured on the navigation item Languages in the navigation group Global Configuration. This will also influence the languages which are offered in the Process Designer.

Figure 291: ConSol CM Admin Tool - Global configuration: Languages

Configured Locales:
In this list, the locales which will be available in the entire system are configured. This influences the lists for localized values in the Process Designer (e.g., for activities) and in the Admin Tool (e.g., for Custom Field values). The displayed values for those activities or fields then depend on the locale of the web browser which is running the ConSol CM Web Client.

Click the Add button to add more locales.
Click the Delete button to remove the selected locale from the list.
Click the Locale button to set the selected locale as the default locale. The default locale is used when the browser's preferred locale is not present in ConSol CM. E.g., if the engineer has set the browser locale to FR and in the ConSol CM administration only English (default), German, and Polish are available, English will be used as the default.

Make sure that the configured languages are installed on each machine where ConSol CM is running or is used. This will not be checked automatically.

The Use of Locales

For an engineer who works with the ConSol CM Web Client, the interface is displayed in the language that is configured in the web browser if it is a locale that is configured in ConSol CM. If no matching CM locale can be found, the default locale which has been set in the Admin Tool is used.

Depending on the location in the Admin Tool, the mechanism to enter the localized terms is slightly different. Please read the following section for a details explanation: The Different Modes of Localizing Terms and Labels using the Admin Tool

In the Process Designer, the locales which have been configured in the Admin Tool are available. However, you can also delete locales in the Process Designer. Please refer to the ConSol CM Process Designer Manual for details.
