bi-lingual installation
November 19, 2012, 03:39:12 am
Hello all. We have both English and spanish speaking users. Is it possible to have a multi-lingual installation? We would like our users to be able to log in either in english or spanish and have access to the same data set.
thanks for your help.

I do not know how it works in detail but I know it is possible!

Is it simply a matter of installing two instances (one english one spanish) and point both instances to the same database?

No, there is a multi-lingual option in the localization part. It then creates a database per language if I am correct. Have a play with the option?
