Visma Net
About multi-language support
In order to activate this functionality you need to have one of these roles: Financials Administrator, System Administrator, and Financials User.
All other users can use the functionality once it is activated.
Usage
With Visma Net, you can translate user input to multiple languages across the whole system. For example, you can enter a description of a stock item in multiple languages. By using the document language defined on the customer/supplier, you will able to print a localised version in multiple reports.
This functionality can be great to use when you do business in other countries, and you want to send business documents in the same language as your customers or suppliers use.
The multi-language functionality will also work on electronic invoices.
Activate
You activate the multi-language functionality from the System locales (SM200550) window, by clicking the Set up languages button where you define a default language and then enable the other languages to be used. You can set up as many languages as you want. To add new languages, just click in the System locales window and then click in the empty field in the Locale name column, and add a language from the list.
See also: Activate multi-language.
Deactivate and reactivate
You deactivate the multi-language functionality from the System locales (SM200550) window, by deselecting the Active check box for the default language and click .
You can reactivate the functionality by selecting the Active check box for the default language and click . The translations you have done in the system are preserved, so you do not have to redo them after you have reactivated the functionality.
You can also deactivate another language than the default one, if you for example do not need to translate to that language anymore. Just deselect the Active check box for that specific language and click .
Note! The changes you do directly in the System locales table will override the settings made via the Set up languages button.
When you have activated the multi-language functionality, you can translate user input for the fields that have multi-language support. A link to the default language (for example About multi-language support, ) is displayed next to these text fields in the system. By clicking that link, the Translations dialog box opens, where you can add your translations for the languages you have enabled.
The table below shows all windows and fields where you can use the multi-language functionality.
