Setting Up Multilingual Cumulus : Overview
   
Overview
Cumulus supports various languages in various ways.
localized user interface (5 languages in addition to English)
language specific writing and sorting capabilities
localized names for all metadata fields shipped with Cumulus (11 languages)
(For details on which languages are supported see below.)
 
And in addition to that – or even on top of that – following can be localized to any language supported by Cumulus:
the names and descriptions of catalogs, catalog fields, sets and templates can be localized to multiple languages
the values of String fields and String List fields (multilingual metadata fields)
String fields need to be enabled for multi-language support. Once enabled, they let Cumulus users store their translations of metadata in multiple languages. The multilingual settings available with View Sets ensure the user can work with the metadata in the matching language.
