The Manitou Language Utility is a service that allows you to translate Manitou features. This is most often used when the organization is in a country other than the United States or offers access to some elements of Manitou, such as BoldNet, to areas that speak other languages. It can also be used to recast some verbiage used within an organization to their naming and other conventions.
When you decide to apply the Language utility, you will work with the sales and implementation teams to prepare you for and configure your database for the tool. Once done, you receive login credentials for your database for the utility, and these Knowledge Base articles help you complete your language translations.
Once you are ready to start this process and your link to the database is in progress, you will want to create a language within your Supervisor Workstation under Setup and Locales.
- Open the Supervisor Workstation.
- Navigate to the Locales (Maintenance Menu - Setup - Locales).
- Click Edit.
- Click Add.
- Enter the Language ID.
- Enter the Description of the Language.
- Click OK.
- If you will be translating it, select the checkbox to enable translation.
- Save the record.
Once saved and the Utility is available, you can begin collecting the values and start your translations.
