Search Terms: Translation Language

The Languages editor allows users to add languages and assign a language code to them. Once a language is added here, translations can be assigned for fields that display in Campus Parent and Campus Student.

The four languages into which the Campus Portal is currently translated are available: English, Spanish, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Any language can be added, modified or removed, except English. When the English language is selected, it is in gray text, indicating modifications to it cannot be made.

After you add a language, you can associate Translations with the language.
