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.
