You use the Languages screen to configure the languages available to assign to accounts, use for external reports and on online web pages.
You can assign a dictionary to a language so you can use those dictionary phrases for reports and online web pages. However, there is also information you have entered into the software, such as an event description, resource (item) description or a receivable transaction type, that you may also need to show on reports or on online web pages in another language. To show this information in another language, you can use alternate descriptions. See Alternate Descriptions for more information.
If you have more than one Momentus Enterprise organization, you can use Language Preferences to assign a language to an organization so external reports and online web pages use the correct language for the organization.
