By default, only English is activated. To activate additional languages, perform the following steps.

To activate additional languages:

1. Under Site Management, select Communication > Languages. The Languages view opens.

2. To activate an additional language, click the drop down list under Available Languages, select one or more additional languages, and then click Add.
3. The language that App Portal uses is determined by the browser culture settings of the user. However, some notifications are sent outside of the browser’s session, such as a successful installation email. The site does not know what the language of the target user is.

You can create collections to help identify the proper language to use in these cases. Collections starting with the prefix ESD_Language_<LanguageName> will show in the list. Select the collection that matches the selected language from the Select Collection list.
