Add/remove languages

The current version of ICA-AtoM supports fourteen languages:

Access language setting

  1. The language menu shows you the languages that are currently available in your ICA-AtoM application; the current (active) language is underlined.
  2. To add or remove one of the supported languages, click the "Admin > Settings" on the main menu.
  3. Click the "I18n languages" section to expand it; the list shows all the languages currently available in your ICA-AtoM application.


Add a language

  1. To add a language, select one from the drop-down menu.

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

  2. 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.

  4. To continue adding languages, expand the "I18n languages" section and repeat steps 4 and 5 as required.


Remove a language

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

  2. ICA-AtoM prompts you to confirm request. Click "OK".

  3. ICA-AtoM removes the language and closes the "I18n languages" section; the removed language no longer appears in the language menu.

  4. To remove additional languages, expand the "I18n languages" section and repeat steps 8 and 9 as required.

    When you remove a language, existing translations of database content into that language remain in the application, but are not accessible.

    If you add the language back (make it available in the language menu), the translations will be accessible again.

Support for Eastern language characters (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) is not installed by default in Microsoft Windows version previous to Windows Vista.
