Import a translation language pack

Introduction

The text within Cerb’s interface can be translated into any language.

Translations are shared as .xml files in the TMX1 format.

Language packs use the following naming convention:

cerb_lang_<language>_<country>.xml

The <language> and <country> codes use ISO 6392 and ISO 31663 respectively.

For instance:

  • de_DE: German (Germany)
  • en_US: English (American)
  • en_GB: English (British)
  • es_ES: Spanish (Spain)
  • es_MX: Spanish (Mexico)
  • it_IT: Italian (Italy)

Workers and contacts can each configure their own preferred language.

This guide walks through the process of installing a new language pack.
