All about language settings

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi community,

I'm looking for an overview of all language settings in Board. To be more precise, a documentation of the configuration parameters that influence the language and also the decimal separator (DB language, user profile language ....) in order to make our board environment fit for multilingual use

THX for your feedback

Hi Franziska,

In general, the language set by the user in Board becomes the default language for each new access for both the front-end and the back-end

There is no specific documentation on language settings, but in the Board manual you can refer to several topics where the language setting may be relevant (algorithm, date cube, smart import, dataset export, broadcasting) to understand how it is treated by default and what setting options are available (if any).

If you need specific information on a particular topic, please raise the question and we can look into it.

Best Regards,

Tommaso

Dear @Franziska Greis,

from the Subscription Hub you can define user's Culture that applies a specific number, date and time format to the user's data visualization within Board. If you leave it blank it will applies the default date and time format inherited from server's regional setting.

Hi to all of you,
sorry for answering so late. You're answers gave a first idea about the language settings. In addition I've found help here:

One important information didn't find in the manual using Board Cloud solution: The Board engine has to be restarted to make the change effective. 😉
