Defining Languages

Learn how to define languages.

To define a language:

  1. Switch to the Language info area.

  2. Click (New).
  3. Enter a number for the language in the Language No. field. This number uniquely identifies the language record. If you do not enter a number, a number is assigned automatically. This number is used to assign languages to reps, groups and stations, see Assigning Languages and Defining Reps.
    Note: This number has no connection with the Aurea CRM's internal language IDs, see Language IDs.

    Number ranges are available for languages (but not automatically used), see Number Ranges in Aurea CRM.

  4. Enter the name of the language in the Lang .( Text) field. This name is displayed in when entering (multi-language) catalog values and texts.
  5. Assign the language to a language in the language catalog using the Lang .( Cat.) field. This entry is used to determine the catalog language for labels used in word processor formats with language transformation (see Word Processor in the Aurea CRM win User Manual) and for multilingual item master texts in the BTB vertical, see Item Master in the BTB Business Logic Manual.)
  6. Assign the language to an Aurea CRM language in the Lang .( Aurea.CRM) field.
    Note: Language numbers can be relevant when determining the login language: If a user logs on with a language assigned to another Aurea CRM language than his default language (as defined in the Rep record), the language with the highest Language No. defined for this Aurea CRM language is used.
  7. Enable the Catalog Base Language field to define the language as the catalog base language (for variable catalogs). The catalog base language forms the basis for translations of catalog values to other languages, see Catalog Info Area.
    Note: Only enable this field for a single language and do not change this setting once defined. Irrespective of the language number you have assigned to the catalog base language in this info area, the catalog base language always uses language number 0 in the Catalog info area.
  8. Enable the Catalog Lang. check box if the language should be used as a catalog language. Catalog values can then be entered and displayed in this language.

    Disable the Catalog Lang. check box to use the catalog base language for variable catalogs and the Aurea CRM language for fixed catalogs.

  9. Save the record.
