Introduction

It is possible to manage a list of natural languages in the CDP4™. These natural languages can be referred to by their natural language code in various concepts. This allows the users of the CDP4™ to localize these concepts. The natural languages are managed in the Natural Language browser.

Manage Natural Languages

After connecting to a data source, open the Natural Language browser by selecting the * Natural Languages* icon on the Directory tab. This will open the Natural Language browser that contains a list of all the natural languages available in the specified data source. These are given with several attributes:

Name

name of the identified natural language in British English¹
Language Code

language code as specified in ISO 639-1 "Part 1: Alpha-2 code" or ISO 639-2 "Part 2: Alpha-3 code"²
Native Name

name of this NaturalLanguage expressed in the identified natural language itself¹

The natural languages can be used e.g. on the standard tabs of the Aliases, Definitions, and Hyperlinks for applicable concepts. The natural language code is used to indicate in which language a specific entry is expressed.
