Language Tutorials

• QuickEasy BOS supports multiple languages and alphabets/scripts.
• Users are linked to their preferred language and can toggle between English and their preferred language.
• By default, QuickEasy BOS opens in English. However, once a user has been allocated a language, the application will default to that language for that user after BOS is restarted.
• The text is divided into two dictionaries:
  • Master dictionary: Contains strings and component names hard coded in the application.
  • Local dictionary: Contains strings from data that is captured in the local database (e.g. custom menu templates and statuses).
• Before a language is translated, it must be activated internally. Please contact QuickEasy support for assistance.

Navigation: Main Menu > Setup > Language Editor

These tutorials explain how to use the language and translation functions.
