  • Updated

Overview

To assist in multi-lingual support, DSP® Language Packs provide an initial set of translations where each Language Pack contains the translated phrases for one language. The Language Packs are not included in the installation and must be downloaded separately and applied to the DSP® instance that requires support for one or more of the languages.

This article contains the following sections:

Download the Language Packs from the Help Center

To download the Language Packs:

  1. Search for the Language Packs Now Available article at https://support.syniti.com.
  2. Download the file DSP Baseline Language Packs.zip.
  3. After download, extract the individual Language Pack SQL files from the zip file to a location where they can be accessed on the DSP® Database Server. The SQL files are named ‘DSP_Catalog_xxx.sql’, where xxx is the name of the language, e.g., DSP_Catalog_Danish.sql.

For each Language Pack you wish to apply to a WebApp in the DSP®, you must:
