As described in How does IMSMA know which language to use? it is the Regional settings on your computer in combination with the language files in the C:\IMSMAng\client\resources\com\fgm\imsma\lexicon folder which determine which language IMSMANG will use.

Case IMSMANG has all files for the language

Case IMSMANG does not have all files for the language OR the translations have not been imported to the database

In this case the regional settings is set to Spanish (Colombia) and the menues etc. are in Spanish but the enumeration values are without translations.

Case IMSMANG does not have files for the language

If the regional settings is set to e.g. Swedish then IMSMANG will use the English IMessages.properties xxx

and the English ITerms.properties

yyy

but there are no translations stored in the database for Swedish so enumeration values will be without any translation.

zzz.

If there are no plans to translate IMSMANG to the local language/variation then it is recommended to

  1. [[Export and Translate the Terms|export] the English translations
  2. check in Data Inventory Manager which is the code of the local language/variation (e.g. sv for Swedish)
  3. rename the file (e.g. trans_sv)
  4. update the first row in the file to the new language code
  5. import the file as the local language/variation.
