From the Language Setting page, you can add a new language for Kyvos Manager and Kyvos that supports language selection at different levels like browser session, user preference, system default, and default in code. There will be different levels of language selection available:
Login page: This applies to the current browser session for both Kyvos and Kyvos Manager.
User preference: This is applicable if the language is not set in the browser and for REST interaction. You can select the language from the Preferences section of Kyvos Manager and Kyvos.
System Default: This applies to all users if no preferred language is selected from Preference.
en_US (English): This language is set when the above levels are not set for language.
The "Use default” option indicates that you have not explicitly selected any language for the current browser session.
In that case, the user’s preference language will be used after login. If you have not saved any language preference, then the language set at the system level is used. Lastly, if no language at the system level is set, then 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.
Structure of the language file bundle (tar file) to be uploaded/downloaded
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.
During the upgrade of the Kyvos and Kyvos Manager application, the additional language files will not be preserved and must be updated manually after the upgrade.
