====== 18) Multi-Language Setup ======

The software allows for any number of languages to be in use on the client side.  This allows your clients to see all system text and templates within a language you setup and allow your clients to view on the client side.

Highlights of the Multi-Language Feature:
  * Ability to see all system generated text of the client side by language choice
  * Ability to see all templates used on the client side by language choice
  * Ability to allow the client side user to choose the language they view the site in from the languages you've configured in the software
  * This feature does NOT translate client entered text.  It is best you not try to create a feature to do this as automatic translation tools can sometimes miscommunicate features that prove very important.  Besides the seller will insert a listing in the language they understand.  There is no use having clients send them questions in languages they cannot understand
  * Ability to browse the site using a language filter.  This allows users to only view listings that were inserted using the language they have currently selected to view the site in.
  * Flexible ability to set a language cookie to the client browser
  * Ability to set language specific attention getters
  * You can export languages for local translation in a program like Microsoft Office or Openoffice

====== Where is the language features of the software managed? ======
You can create languages within the system using the following admin tools:

  LANGUAGES > LANGUAGE HOME
  
And manage a few aspects of it within that page like exporting a language for external translation and reimport after translation.  You can set a specific template set to a specific language use within this admin tool:

  DESIGN > TEMPLATE SETS
  


====== Things to know when managing languages in the software ======
  * The software does not translate client inserted data they insert into their listings
  * The text you see on the client side is managed through a number of features.  Any text you see will either be directly into a template or within the system text for the system.
