Languages

FTrack is a Multilanguage application. This means that it can be configured to change all the texts and literals that appears in all its forms from one language to the other. From the main window top menu select option: Tools>Administration>Languges. FTrack will open the Languages Management Form as shown:

Per each language defined, a tab with its literals will appear. FTrack brings two languages in the basic installation, English and Spanish. Administrator can change the default language using the default language selection button at the top of the form. Once the default language is changed, you must exit the application in order to see the changes next time you log in.

If you want to change a particular literal because you want to adapt it to your business or simply because there is an error, just do click with the mouse over the text you want to change. FTrack will enter in edition mode, change it and hit {enter}. Don't forget to hit button {Ok} to save the changes.

It is possible to add a new language to FTrack. This process requires that the Administrator edits a xml file stored in the root directory of FTrack. The file is named LANGUAGES.TXT. Edit it with a text editor. Lets imagine you want to add a new language called "French".

<Languages>
<English=English (UK)/>
<Spanish=Castellano (España)/>
</Languages>
<Default=English/>
<English>
<CLASS_XREF_TYPE_SALES_STATE=Opportunity state/>
<MSG_APPLY_TEMPLATE=Do you want to apply the selected template?/>
…
You must change it and add the following lines:
<Languages>
<English=English (UK)/>
<Spanish=Castellano (España)/>
<French=French (From France)/>
</Languages>
<Default=English/>
<French></French>
<English>
<CLASS_XREF_TYPE_SALES_STATE=Opportunity state/>
<MSG_APPLY_TEMPLATE=Do you want to apply the selected template?/>

Now save the changes, enter into FTrack Languge Details form and you will see a new tab named French (From France). Now it is time to enter the new language literals.
