Language Control Maintenance
Use Language Control Maintenance to create and maintain the definitions of languages implemented in QAD CSS. Language Control Maintenance is the core of all language, translation, and display functions. All languages defined within Language Control Maintenance can be accessed simultaneously, serving real-time translated Web pages based on user language preference.
The number of languages that can be operated depends on the number of language modules purchased for QAD CSS. The number of language modules is displayed in the QAD CSS Clearance Code function.
Warning Do not delete the default language under any circumstances.
When multiple languages are used, make sure the ISO number for the HTML document character set supports every language. The International Organization for Standardization Web site lists the most current HTML coded character sets. You can access the Web site at:
http://www.iso.ch
The menu location of Language Control Maintenance is Home Menu|Administration Menu|Language Menu|Language Control Maintenance.
Clicking the Language Control Maintenance menu option displays the screen in Language Control Maintenance.
