Preferred Language Options
The “Preferred Language Options” in the Localization ‘Settings’ area of Retention CRM allows Associations, Chambers of Commerce and Nonprofit organizations to configure how languages are displayed and used for their users. This includes specifying which languages are available, their order of preference, and any additional details.
General Functionality of “Preferred Language Options”
Here’s a breakdown of the listed fields and how a nursing association might utilize them:
- Label: This is the name that will be displayed to users when choosing a language. (e.g., English (US), French (Canada))
- Value: This is the internal code used by Retention CRM to identify the language. (e.g., en_US, fr_CA) – Don’t worry about memorizing these codes, Retention CRM will likely have a list of available options to choose from.
- Description: An optional field to provide additional information about the language, such as its regional dialect. (e.g., “French spoken in Canada”)
- Order: This determines the order in which languages appear in the user interface. Languages listed higher will be displayed first.
- Enabled?: This checkbox controls whether a language is actively offered to users. Disabled languages won’t be selectable.
How to Use “Preferred Language Options” in Association Management
Use Case for a Nursing Association
The nursing association might want to offer their website and Retention CRM interface in both English and Spanish to cater to a diverse membership base. Here’s how they can utilize the options:
- Add Languages: Use this option to include both English (en_US) and Spanish (es_ES) as languages.
- Label: Set user-friendly labels like “English (US)” and “Spanish (Spain)”.
- Description: Consider adding a description for Spanish, for example, “For Spanish speakers in any region”.
- Order: If English is the primary language, place it higher in the order.
- Enabled?: Ensure both English and Spanish are enabled for user selection.
By configuring these options, the nursing association can provide a more inclusive user experience for their members who prefer to access information in Spanish.
