Multiple Languages Registry entry

Specify whether a field is multilingual and therefore affected by the other Language Registry entries.

The Multiple Languages Registry entry provides a mechanism for defining whether a field is multilingual. If a field is not multilingual, the field's contents are unaffected by these other Language Registry entries:

Each Vitalware module has a number of fields defined to support multilingual values. System Administrators may adjust the list of multilingual fields to suit their needs.

Usage

This Registry entry is assigned to groups:

KeyGroupGroupGroup
Key 1GroupGroupGroup
Key 2groupDefaultDefault
Key 3TableTableTable
Key 4tabletableDefault
Key 5Multiple Languages
Key 6column
Valueboolean
GroupgroupTabletableMultiple Languagescolumnboolean
GroupDefaultTabletableMultiple Languagescolumnboolean
GroupDefaultTableDefaultMultiple Languagescolumnboolean

where:

column

is the name of the column to which the setting is to be applied.

boolean

is true (the field should support multiple languages) or false (the field should not support multiple languages).

Note: While it is possible to specify a group name, in general group Default should be used as a field is either multilingual or not, regardless of the person accessing it.

The What's this help? information for a field displays not only the column name, but also whether the field supports multiple languages. The Multilingual setting under the Display Information section displays Yes if the field supports multiple languages:

Examples

These entries turn off support for multiple languages in the First, Middle and Last name fields in the Parties module:
