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.
