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 that:

• User can switch the interface between any of these languages.

• Translators can translate content into any of these languages.

1. The language menu shows you the languages that are currently active in your ICA-AtoM application.

2. To add or remove one of the supported languages, click the admin > settings tab on the main menu bar.

3. Click the i18n languages section to expand it; the list shows all the languages currently active in your ICA-AtoM application.

• The drop-down menu shows all currently supported languages available for ICA-AtoM.

5. Click the add button.

6. ICA-AtoM adds the language and closes the i18n languages section; the added language will now appear in the language menu.

7. To continue adding languages, expand the i18n languages section and repeat steps 4 and 5 as required.

Remove a language

8. To remove a language, click the delete icon beside it in the list.

9. ICA-AtoM prompts you to confirm request. Click OK.
