JMap projects can be configured to support several languages. This way, each user can view the project in his or her own language, as long as the language is available and the translations have been provided. When a JMap application is launched, it can automatically identify the language of the user’s operating system and use this language for the project and graphical interfaces. This behavior depends on the options selected when deploying the application.
For a project supporting multiple languages, each text element that is visible to the users can be translated into each language. For example, you can provide translations for the project name, the names of the layers, labels, mouseover bubbles, forms, etc.
To enable multilingual support, you must choose at least 2 languages when creating or editing a project. You must also select the default language.
Afterwards, you can enter the translations in the sections identified with the symbol when configuring the project and layers. The figure presents the translation interface for a project supporting 3 languages.
If translations are not provided in all available languages for certain text elements, the text will automatically be displayed in the default language.
Languages
Available languages
Select the languages that will be available for the project. At least one language must be selected.
Default language
Choose the default language among those that are available. When you enter text in the various configuration sections of the project and layers, you must enter it in the default language.If the user’s language is not supported for the project or if translations are missing, JMap will automatically use the default language.
