Language Tools

Introduction

Language tools allow you to customize all text on the user interface including labels, messages, and menus. The system supports any language for which there is a web-based character set, such as English, French, Spanish, German, or simplified Chinese. By allowing the text to be changed, LearnFlex is able to meet the contextual needs of the diverse clients that use the system.

You can search for an entry by phrase, or by the phrase’s key ID (codes used to identify words and phrases), which is an internal code used to represent the phrase.

Note: You cannot add new entries; you can only modify existing ones.

You can choose the search results output to be only English words, only French words or both. You can also select a language under the Only list if empty: (OR) header if you want to know what words have not yet been translated.
