Language Tutorials

• QuickEasy BOS supports multiple languages, alphabets and scripts.
• Users are linked to their preferred language and can toggle between English and their preferred language.
• By default, QuickEasy BOS opens in English. However, once a user is allocated a language, the application defaults to that language for that user after BOS is restarted.
• The text is divided into two dictionaries:
  • Master dictionary: Contains strings and component names hard-coded in the application.
  • Local dictionary: Contains strings from data that is captured in the local database (e.g. custom Menu Templates and statuses).
• Before a language is translated, it must be activated internally. Contact QuickEasy support for assistance.

💡These tutorials explain how to allocate a language to a user, translate a language, update the master and local dictionaries and set translation statuses.
