Handling Languages
In the Integration Directory you differentiate between logon and display languages.
Display and Logon Language

Logon language |
Language in which the user interface text is displayed (for example, menu texts). You select the logon language when you log on. You can define a preferred logon language in the personal settings. This saves you having to specify the logon language each time. For more information, see: Making Personal Settings |
|
Display Language for Objects |
Language in which language-specific, translatable texts are displayed. You can create language-specific, translatable texts for every object. This includes texts in description fields, as well as texts created with the documentation editor. Object names are however cross-language texts that are not translated. You set your preferred display language in your personal settings. Once you have opened an object, you can select the display language in the object editor. You can select from all languages for which translations are available and are permitted. |
The logon and display languages are independent of each other. For example, you could decide to log on in English. All texts on the user interface are then displayed in English. However, you could then select German as the display language for one specific object so that the content of all description fields is in German.
Original language
An original language is defined for all objects in the Integration Directory. The original language is the default display language for objects in editing mode.
If you create a new object or change an existing object, the original language is selected as the display language.
