Muliple Language Support in One Login

[ashboss]

I have to make a system where Job Manager can read / post cases in any of the 3 following languages

1) US English
2) Deutsch
3) Polish

At the point of login, it shows only one langugae to choose from and only that language works properly, but it does not support other languages.

Is it possible that Manager can login with any language, and he can read / write in any of the languages.

Please help, this help will be of great use to others Sugar Users as well.

Thankx,

You must distinguish between the GUI language (the screens, labels etc.) you see and the data you enter.

The GUI is defined during login by choosing any of the installed languages. In order to do so please download and install the appropriate language packs.
Data is a different story. You enter what you enter. And you see what you entered (provided the database and your local system can show the local characters correctly). I guess you do not expect the system to translate a Polish entry into German?

So if the manager decides to enter a Polish remark text than quite naturally everybody would see the Polish text, irrespective of the GUI language.

There is a third category - dropdown lists - those can be set-up in all GUI languages and every user would see them in his language. Internally Sugar keeps just the identifier. For example: 1 (identifier) / Kunde / Customer / in Polish???

I hope I made it clear enough...

Your only option is to add an attribute to your business object, specifying the language of the record. That way, users can save a search for only their own language.
