  2. Select the desired language and click the "Add" button.

  3. ICA-AtoM adds the language and closes the "I18n languages" section; the added language will now appear in the language menu. To see these changes implemented in the language navigation menu at the top left corner of the screen, refresh your browser and the added language should appear as an option.

    • Note: if a user selects a language that is not currently supported (i.e., where the translation XLIFF file has not yet been created), ICA-AtoM will refresh the settings screen without implementing any changes. See issue 962.

  4. To continue adding languages, expand the "I18n languages" section and repeat these steps as required.
