Languages
- QuickEasy BOS supports multiple languages, alphabets and 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 defaults to that language for that user after BOS is restarted.
- If users are allocated a second language, they are also able to select that language in the Mobile App.
- 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.
