I have no idea what this involves, but posted a forum request to our foreign users to chime in. I am willing to do the work, but since I can't speak or read any other languages, it will be very hard to me to test and need a volunteer(s) to help work on this.

I have looked in to this before, It involves quite a bit. Globalization, Cultures and we will need to deal with TimeZones here also. However, as you said above, this will require some help from other users from other countries, as I do not want to translate with the wrong words.

There is an article on CodeProject that explains the basics of doing this. http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/580043/How-to-make-a-multi-language-application-in-Csharp](url).
I will download and start looking at what this will take, and how much work will be required to get it implemented.

I have started to work on this issue.
I will need a new string property added to the SYSTEM object called: Culture

This property will hold the language/Region setting for the system.
For example: "en-US", "fr-FR" or "de-DE".
This will also be used to set the correct Date/Time format for each region, and help solve the Rest issue #351 with users in other countries.

We may also want to make this part of the Installation application, so users can select their Language/Region during install, and it set this property automatically.
Also, I think we should add a way in the Manager to change this property, other than through the WebUI, as there are 136 different Language/Region ISO values available.

I will also be asking our forum member to chime in with some help on the translations!!
