Language types

This table shows the language types:

Language type Description
Software Language The language in which the software components, such as forms and reports, are displayed. For each user, the default software language is defined in the LN user data.
Data Language The language in which the application data is displayed. Data languages are linked to users and software languages.
Base Language The fallback language used to display application data.

LN uses this fallback mechanism:

  1. LN displays the application data in the data language specified in your user data.
  2. If no data language is specified in your user data, LN displays the application data in the data language linked to your software language.
  3. If no data language is linked to your software language, LN displays the application data in the base language.
