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.
