Detail Edit Language Control

Language Code

A unique identifier for this language.

Language Description

The native name of the language; for example, Espanõl.

Default Language

This field cannot be changed. It indicates the default language of the QAD CSS implementation. Only one language can be set as the default. Do not change the default language.

Active

Indicate if this language is currently active.

Date Format

Select the appropriate month/day/year format from the drop-down list.

Number Format

Select the thousand and decimal format for languages.

Character Set

Specify the ISO number for the HTML document character set.

Check all Database tables to be copied from default language

This causes related database records to be copied from the default language database records. Administrators can then use the appropriate maintenance function to edit records with translatable fields.

Important: Not checking wpro_error_msg will cause JavaScript errors while logging in using the new language. Not checking wpro_data_trans will cause the data fields to show up unpopulated.

Clicking a command button executes one of the following actions:

•	Add saves the new record to the database in the wpro_lang_control table. All required fields—indicated by alternate field color—must be populated prior to saving a record. Before saving, the system verifies that the record is unique and displays an error if it is not.

•	Cancel closes the window without adding the record.
