ActiveManage supports multi-language deployments — the same platform serves users in different languages from the same database. UI labels, field names, help text, email templates and even data values can be translated.
What's Translatable
- UI strings: Buttons, menu items, validation messages, system messages.
- Field labels and help text: Each custom field can have per-language overrides.
- Datastore labels: Singular and plural names of each datastore.
- Email and SMS templates: Per-language versions of each template.
- Document templates: Multi-language invoice / contract output.
- Help articles: Translated content per language.
- Data values: Dropdown options can have per-language labels.
How Language Resolves
- User preference (chosen explicitly in their settings).
- Tenant default (set in tenant configuration).
- Browser language (the user's Accept-Language header).
- Platform default (typically English).
Worked Examples
- Pan-European SaaS: Supports en, fr, de, es, it, nl. Users pick at signup; tenant default falls back per region.
- Localised marketplace: Product titles and descriptions stored per-language; buyers see the version matching their preference.
- Educational platform: Student-facing UI translated; admin panel stays English (English is the lingua franca for admins).
- Government tenant: Two languages required by regulation (e.g. French and English in parts of Canada); both fully translated.
