Changing Languages

Text generated by WebBridge can be displayed in the language of your choice.

Generated text (i.e., category names for resources and text accompanying resources, such as "Find more information at") displays when a list of resource links are offered to the user in response to a request from WebPAC or Sierra origins.

The language of WebBridge-generated text in response to a request from external origins cannot be changed.

The default language for text generated by WebBridge is English.

To display text in a language other than English, edit the categories and resource definitions.

To display a category or link to a resource in WebPAC, the language in the category or resource definition must match the language used for WebPAC. WebBridge will not display categories or resource links in languages that do not match the language used in WebPAC.
