Clicking on a language module will load a form similar to the one below in the work frame. Next to each language variable, simply enter the text you'd like to see appear within the program. You can click on the language variable name to see the default setting (and restore it), as well as any notes on its placement or use. New language variables may be added by using the provided form. At the bottom of the language settings form (but not shown in the picture below) is a button that allows you to validate your current language set against the master language files on the Hyperseek servers. From time to time, JJS will release new versions of software that rely on new language variables. The validation button will alert you to these new variables and import them for you automatically.
Note, that at any time, you may add a new language to the system. This is done by filling in the form on the language manager main screen with the name of the new language. The system will make a copy of the "English" language for you, with the new language name. You may then start to edit the settings and begin a full translation. Once complete, you'll have one or more complete/translated language sets to use. From the admin center, you may choose which language set the system will use.
The Table/Form layouts, unlike the normal language variables exist only once, and may not be copied. So, while you may have 4 language variable sets defined and translated, you'll only have one set of table/form prompts to use.
The purpose of the language system is not to enable the system to be multi-lingual, but rather to be easily translatable, and worded to your tastes, not ours.
If you create multiple language sets, all you need to do is link your visitor to your main search.php file with the query string parameter: lang=whatever and the system will cookie them, and use that language set for them for the remainder of their visit.
