Multilingual data

Valuemation supports multi-language data by storing business data in multiple languages and displaying the data in the currently selected GUI language.

Multilingual data for individual object types are stored in dedicated database tables automatically created for an object type at the moment when at least one of its attributes is specified as 'translated‘.

Data in the main language are stored in the original object type "translated" table using the database character set. Data in the supplementary languages are stored in additional "translation" tables using the Unicode data type.

Multilingual data handling is described in detail in the 'Multilingual Support' help section.
