Setting Up Multilingual Cumulus : Language Specific View Settings
   
Language Specific View Settings
Further language specific setting define what a user will or can see in a multilingual environment.
View Sets
As View Sets define for each view which fields are displayed and how, they include multilingual settings. View Sets meeting the individual needs ensure that Cumulus users can work with the metadata in the matching languages. For multilingual environments with multilingual metadata fields, language specific View Sets are recommended.
The setting for certain views offer an Allow language switch for multilingual fields option. This option enables users to switch the language in which multilingual metadata fields are displayed. If this option is not activated, multilingual fields are always displayed in the language of the field that is included with the view.
When adding String fields to a View Set, the Modules tab includes a Languages­ node. It expands to a list of all languages configured for string field values. Clicking the plus sign in front of a language name displays the fields that support values in the respective language, but are not yet included in the view. You can either select the name of a language’s to add all respective fields, or select the individual language-specific fields you want to add. (See also “Adding a Field to a Record View “and “Adding a Field to the Category Info Window”.)
