If 1) the software
installation language, 2) the vault language, and 3) the Windows display language
are the same, all the
M-Files functions and the metadata
structure of the document vault are displayed in the language in question.
Note: If
you want to create a new vault in a language other than the currently selected
software language, you must first change the software language and restart the
M-Files Server service with Windows Task Manager before
creating the vault.
Note: If the user adds a new value to the value list,
the new value (concept) will be added to the original metadata structure, that
is, the source language contents, regardless of the user's vault language. For
example, a user with Finnish as the vault language, can add a new value
LVI-piirustus to the value list Drawing Types/Piirustustyypit.
If the source language was English, the new Finnish value "LVI-piirustus"
is displayed among the English values: "Architectural,
LVI-piirustus, Mechanical, Services", and so on. The name of
this value can be changed in Value List Properties to correspond the
source language, after which it can be re-translated into Finnish. Common views
can be named in the same way according to the text added by the user, regardless
of the source language.
Note: If the metadata structure is translated into
several languages, the software or the vault language selected by the user does
not affect the search results. For example, if the user has selected Finnish as
the language and added a document to class Hinnasto, the document in
question is included in the search results when using the search criterion
Price List. However, then the concepts Price List and
Hinnasto must be translations of each other, that is, different
translations of the same concept.
