Languages

On Key supports different languages. The languages that your organisation uses are configured and maintained in the languages master data.

You can select the default language you want On Key to be in from the list of languages that are provided in the system. On logging in, all visual elements in the On Key user interface, such as screen or column headers, field names and menu items, for example, will be in the language that you've identified. The translations for system-provided languages are maintained and updated with each On Key release.

You can also add additional languages if your first language is not in On Key's predefined list. Use them to create your own translations for item descriptions, so that your workforce can use On Key in a language that they understand and are comfortable with.

Translations are implemented through the use of localisation sets and localisation keys. Refer to Localisation Sets and Localisation Keys for more information.

Default Language Implementation

This is the language in which On Key will be displayed when the user logs in. The default language can be set on Users, Sites and System Options, but is only a required field in System Options.
If a default language is set on the user, it takes priority and is applied. If not, the system will check whether the site that's associated with the user has a default language set and apply that.
If the default language is neither specified on the user nor the user's site, then the default language that's set in the System Options is applied.
The default language being applied is illustrated with in the user's account information, which is accessed by clicking then Language.

Refer to Users, Sites and System Options for more information.
