Main Page > Translate ICA-AtoM application

ICA-AtoM is a multi-lingual application, meaning that users can switch the interface between different languages, as well as contribute translations of descriptions from the source language to another. This page is for project participants preparing the default translations of the interface that will ship with version 1.0. This version will support the following languages:

  • Dutch
  • English
  • French
  • Italian
  • Portuguese
  • Slovenian
  • Spanish

Users of an ICA-AtoM application will still have the option to modify the default translations to suit their own purposes (described in User manual > Translate ICA-AtoM). The procedures on this page, however, are for the one-time translations that provide the defaults.
