Languages#

Colectica supports defining metadata in multiple languages. This page lets the administrator configure the default order in which text is displayed, in cases where text is defined in multiple languages. It is located at /admin/languages.

If no order has been configured, en-US followed by en is used.

To add a language, enter the language code in the Language to Add text box and click the Add button. Language codes may contain letters, numbers, and hyphens, such as fr or fr-CA.

Remove a Language#

To remove a language, click the Remove button next to the language, and then click Save.

Re-prioritize Languages#

To re-order the languages, use the mouse to drag one of the languages higher or lower in the list, and then click Save.
