Add or remove a language from ICA-AtoM

Japanese added, Dutch removed

The current version of ICA-AtoM (v1.0 beta) supports 14 languages:

• Arabic
• Dutch
• English
• Farsi
• French
• German
• Greek
• Icelandic
• Italian
• Japanese
• Korean
• Portuguese
• Slovenian
• Spanish

This means the user interface has been translated into and can switched to any of these languages; and that translators can

You can remove any number of supported languages from your ICA-AtoM application. Removing a language means:

• The language no longer appears in the language menu.

• The user interface cannot be switched to that language.

• Existing translations of database content remain in the application, but are not accessible.

• New translations cannot be added.

The current version of ICA-AtoM (v1.0 beta) does not allow you to add new languages, but you can restore (add back) supported languages that were previously removed. Once restored, any database content that had been translated into that language becomes accessible again.
