Manage Translations
Overview
- Admin Users have the ability to add languages or labels to translate CarbonView into the language of their choice.
- Multiple translations can be set up for an organisation in CarbonView.
- Translations can then be assigned to individual Users (in the Manage Users section) so that users around the world can use CarbonView in their language of choice.
- CarbonView supports non-latin alphabet characters, enabling the translation into Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic, etc
- The “Manage Translations” section also enables the customisation of Flexible Fields. CarbonView has 10 Flexible Fields available for use in capturing additional data, where a field is not available within CarbonView's standard setup.

1. Click Admin > Global Settings > Manage Translations
2. The Manage Translation Page contains the following:
