Language settings

In the upper right-hand side of this parts list view, a drop-down menu containing all VIDA languages is available. Here you can change the language for the parts in the parts list you are currently working with to another language than the VIDA application language. Changing language can e.g. be useful when communicating with a customer talking another language than the default VIDA language. Note that all application texts always follow the default application language and will not be affected by the language selected in this drop-down menu. This dynamic language change only affects the parts in the current list. Previously opened tabs or any tabs that will be opened later will not be affected.

Note

Printouts as well as search within parts will follow the dynamic language.
