What is Multilingual Support?

Worried that your staff is not comfortable using English? We have you covered. Discover Alfresco in another language.

Not every business functions in English. Skytizens Multilingual Support addon gives users around the globe the ability to use the Alfresco ECM system. We have opened the doors of Alfresco to users beyond the English-speaking world. Your company is not limited to using a single language: Our addon supports usage in multiple languages at one time.

Why is Multilingual Support so important?

• Productivity – non-English speaking employees work faster in their native language
• Accessibility – staff members with different language skills can collaborate comfortably
• Multi-language support – users work in the same ECM system in various languages at one time
• Search compatibility – search engines operate in the language of origin of the user, so search habits and customs that differ from language to language are supported for all staff
• Market access – having multilingual capabilities in your ECM system makes it easier for you to provide high-quality service to non-English speaking customers

The Benefits of Multilingual Support

In the global market, it’s important to foster trust and cultural sensitivity in your company at all levels. Staff members who work in their most proficient language will not only be more comfortable, but also more productive. The Skytizens Multilingual Support addon is ideal for global business. Users from different regions of the world can access the same system at the same time, using different languages, and productivity is not negatively affected.

How Does It Work?

The Alfresco system’s default language is English. With the Skytizens Multilingual Support addon, users have the option of changing the language settings for their entire interface. This language setting applies to all of the Alfresco menu items, dropdown menus, administration tools, edit options, preferences, action buttons, and every listed option within the system.

With the addon, the language settings are controlled by the individual user, meaning that each user can choose their most comfortable language to work in. In fact, with Multilingual Support, different staff members can use different languages to access the same system at the same time.

Main Features

Language Selection – The user can choose their preferred language at two system locations.

1. Login – Users choose a language at the login screen before beginning an Alfresco session.
2. User Profile Settings – Users can change the language of their Alfresco session at any point while they are working. There is no time lost; the system seamlessly adjusts to the new language setting without the need to restart or pause any current work that is open.
