On the Language Settings page, you can add a new language for Kyvos Manager and Kyvos. This feature allows you to select a language at different levels: for a specific browser session (applicable only to that login session), based on user preferences, or by the default system language, which is set to English.
You can set a new language for the following:
The current browser session: Select the desired language from the login page of Kyvos or Kyvos Manager.
REST interactions: Choose the language from the Preferences section in Kyvos Manager and Kyvos. This applies if the language has not been set in the browser session.
If no preferred language is selected, the system default language en_US (English) is set. This default application language is applied when no language is specified. This applies to all users.
The "Default (English)” option indicates that you have not explicitly selected any language for the current browser session. If you select the required language from the “Preference” list, the user’s preferred language will be used after login. If you have not saved any language preference, the default English (en_US) will be used.
You can upload/download/delete any language without the need to access the node/machines and the internal folder structure of any Kyvos component like Kyvos Web Portal, BI server, commons, or Kyvos Manager.
While applying any new language, ensure the following:
The language file must be translated. During the translation, only the values of the keys should be translated, excluding those defined in curly brackets and any HTML code.
The same structure must be downloaded for any existing language file bundle.
One language bundle(tar) file can be uploaded/downloaded at a time.
The name of each language file should be in a predefined format within its respective folder. The convention used for naming files must be locale_Country.json. For example, en_US.json, en_GB.json, fr_FR.json etc.
Important
During the upgrade of the Kyvos and Kyvos Manager applications, the additional language files will not be preserved and must be updated manually after the upgrade.
