Introduction

Localisation allows custom phrases to be used across the intranet to suit your preference, for headings or descriptions etc. This can help give your intranet a personal feel suited to your organisation.

You can make changes to the languages registered in the system. 

How to access localisation

Please note: Only those with System Administrator permissions can access this area. Learn how to manage these permissions using the Sysadmin guide. 

1. Navigate to Applications > Admin.

2. Select System to access the system panel. 

3. From the System panel, head to the Localisation tab.

Here you will see 3 sections:

• Edit localisation:

Scroll through the section and find the application you would like to amend the language for. If you can't find the application it may be stored in the Core Apps selection at the top.
 

• Your changes

Click any of the applications to view the elements you have changed. If you click any application before making any changes the area will appear empty.
 

• Original

Locate and view the stored record of the original language/terminology in case you would like to revert things back.

Editing localisation

1. Locate the application you would like to change the terminology for.

In this example, we'll change the name of 'Holiday' to 'Vacation'. This localisation key is stored in the Holidays application:

2. Use the search bar to look for all localisation keys where 'Holiday' is used:

3. To change the text, go to the language column you would like to change and select the item.

Type in the change you would like to see and hit Save.

4. The Status of the location key will indicate 'Changed' and will be highlighted.

Once you have made all changes, press Save at the bottom of the page.

5. Delete the localisation cache in Admin > System > Labs

This ensures the update made will be applied by removing the previous instance stored in the cache.

Delete the localisation cache specifically or 'delete all caches' which also includes it:

6. Confirm changes.

Visit the area you made the change to on the front end to see the new wording.
