About multilingual use
If you have a multi-lingual license for SunSystems, you can specify the language for the user interface. Available languages are defined in the serialization details and Language (LAN).
Languages are associated with operators so that each operator can work in his/her preferred language. For example, if a member of a London office was visiting a Paris office and logged into the system in Paris they would see the English version of SunSystems displayed.
Base Language
The base language is the main language of the system. It is identified as such in the serialization details and is the default of the system.
Additional Languages
SunSystems can support up to 99 language versions; the base language and up to 98 additional languages.
Operator Language
The language for each operator is defined in Security.
