Your public-facing users can have the option to select their preferred language when using an account management configuration. To use multiple languages, you must have the languages you want to offer already configured in the Languages screen and have the software configured to use alternate descriptions.
Configure Multiple Languages for the Account Management Configuration
When you configure multiple languages for the account management configuration, you assign a dictionary to each language in the account management configuration. This dictionary is used to show the standard system phrases in the language you select.
- Click the Account Management Configurations link from the Main Menu. The Account Management Configurations screen opens.
- Select the account management configuration you want to configure for multiple languages.
- Right-click and select Edit. The Edit Account Management Configuration screen opens.
- Select the Languages tab.
- Click the Add button. The Add Public Language screen opens.
- Enter the necessary information:
- Language - Language for the account management configuration.
- Dictionary - Dictionary for the account management configuration.
- Description to Use - Alternate description to use for the account management configuration.
- Region - Regional settings to use for account management configuration.
- Web Skin - Not applicable to Account Management Configurations.
- Default Language - If checked, the language is used the first time an account management configuration user accesses the site if the URL they used does not include the language parameter.
- Click OK.
Translate Account Management Configuration Options to Different Languages
When you configure multiple languages for the account management configuration, you assign the description you want to use for the additional options that are not in the system dictionary, such as the page headings and summaries. You manage these translations using alternate descriptions.
On each of the screens where you configure the page titles, headings and summaries, you can add the alternate descriptions to your screen layout and configure the translation for each. See Account Management Configuration Content Builder for details on adding each component.
