The Languages screen is used to configure and enable the languages used in the Translations module. This screen displays the contents of the Languages database table. Adding, editing, or deleting a language on this screen will also update the Languages database table.
1. In the Setup menu, click Languages.
You can also navigate to this screen by clicking the Languages Setup button on the Translations screen.
2. In the blank row at the top of the table, enter the Language Title. This is required.
3. Enter the Short Name. This is required.
The Short Name should match the field option codes set by the organization in the select-one field chosen as the Primary Language Field. The Primary Language Field is set in Setup > System Preferences > Default School Preferences > Localization tab. This ensures accurate language matching within the API when publishing report cards.
4. Enter the Native Title, if desired.
If not defined, the Native Title will populate by the Microsoft API when the language is enabled and saved. The Native Title can be edited, if desired.
5. Select the appropriate ISO 639-1 option.
The pull-down displays the available ISO 639 codes defined in Set 1 of the ISO-639 standard. Selecting an option is required in order to enable the language for use.
6. Select the appropriate Microsoft API option.
The pull-down displays the Microsoft API codes supported by Focus. Selecting an option is required in order to enable the language for use.
7. Select the Enabled check box to enable the language for use.
When a language is enabled, it will be included in the "Update Automated Translations" scheduled job and the Auto Translate function. The language will be available as a Language option in the Preferences screen for teachers, parents, and students, and as an option for applications on /apply and /auth.
If a Native Title has not been entered for the language, it will be populated by the Microsoft API after enabling and saving the language, but can be edited by the district if desired.
There can only be one enabled language per ISO 639-1 code.
