Managing Language Settings

On the Language Settings page, you can easily upload a new language bundle file for both Kyvos Manager and Kyvos, providing a more personalized experience. This feature offers multiple language selection options, allowing you to choose a language at various levels:

  1. Browser Session Level: Select a language that will only apply to the current login session, making it ideal for temporary language preferences.

  2. User Preferences: Choose the language from the Preferences section in Kyvos, ensuring a more tailored experience every time you logged in. This applies if the language has not been set in the browser session.

  3. Default System Language: The system's default language is set to English, but it can be changed to another language if preferred, ensuring consistency across the platform. The "Default (English)" option indicates that no language has been explicitly selected for the current browser session. If you choose a language from the "Preference" list, your preferred language will be applied after login. If no language preference is saved, the default English (en_US) will be used.

By offering these flexible options, Kyvos allows you to interact with both Kyvos Manager and Kyvos in the language you are most comfortable with, improving usability and accessibility for users worldwide.

Note

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
