Language translation provides the ability to enable Multiple Languages in the AgileApps Cloud platform and configure custom messages using the Translation Workbench and Custom Labels. Organizations can decide which of the supported languages will be available for use. Individual users can then select their language from the list of available languages.

Example
In an organization based in North America, language translations are set up to display language labels and messages written in Spanish, as well as the default English language. The users can then choose the language they prefer.

Supported Languages

The following languages are pre-loaded for both the cloud and installable versions of the AgileApps platform:

  • English (en)
  • French (fr)
  • Italian (it)
  • German (de)
  • Spanish (es)
