Language Management
Overview of Language Management
What is Language Management for? When should you use it?
Customizing text displayed on your site. To customize text on your site. For
example, you could change the heading
"Featured Categories" to "November
Specials!" or the name of a print service
from "cutting" to "slitting" to suit your
needs and preferences and the language
culture of the customers you serve.
The language management tools enable you to customize the text that is displayed on your site. For
example, you could use this tool to change every occurrence of the word “gray” to “grey” in one or
more languages on your site. You can also use the language management tools to customize labels on
the site. For example, you can change the default tab label “Administration” to “Admin Only” (or any
other descriptive label of your choosing) in one or more languages.
The site language management tool was designed to enable site admins with a way to
change isolated strings. It was not intended for:
•
Overriding hundreds of standard strings for the purpose of creating an application that
looks “completely different” from the production model.
•
Completely changing the meaning of the text (e.g., from “send an email” to “receive an
email”).
Settings & Examples
The settings and examples below show how various custom string settings will affect the display of
language on the site (depending on the cultural variant of the language; for instance, the English
language varies in the United States “culture” and in the British “culture”).
Administrator-created names, such as media names and product names, are stored in the system
as “invariants.”
