The Languages Setting

This setting in the System module allows you to define foreign Languages. You can then assign Language Codes to Customers and Suppliers. This will ensure the correct Forms are used: e.g. French invoice forms to French customers, Finnish documents for Finnish customers etc. In addition, you can use Language Codes to show the correct translations of Item Names, Payment Terms, Delivery Terms, etc. on printed documentation.

To open the Languages setting, ensure you are in the System module using the [Select Module] button in the Master Control panel and click the [Settings] button, also in the Master Control panel. The 'Settings' list opens: double-click 'Languages'. The 'Languages: Inspect' window opens, listing the Languages that have already been entered:

To enter a new Language, you can simply enter a Language Code and Name on the first blank line and click [Save] to save and close. However, to make Language selection easier, it is recommended that you enter Languages in alphabetical order, as shown in the illustration. If you need to insert a row to maintain this order, click on the row number where the insertion is to be made and press Return. When you come to choose a Language using the 'Paste Special' function, the Languages will be shown in the selection list in the same order that you have used here. Click the close box to close without saving changes.
