Languages and Web Pages¶

COR supports multiple languages for content on websites. The user groups impacted include:

• Users, who view the Web Pages
• COR Administrators, who configure the website
  

Requirements¶

Users want to:

• Select the language of their choice.
• View web pages in the language of their choice.
  • Content-based Web Parts that display text and images to users are based on a language.
  • Form-based Web Parts prompt the user for input, e.g. the Login Form.
    

COR Administrators want to:

• Configure the language of each Web Part.
• Provide a selection of languages supported.
  

Languages and Web Parts¶

The content-based Web Parts that support the language option include:

• COR Word Viewer Web Part
• COR Rich Text Viewer Web Part
• COR Image Web Part
• COR Image Lists Web Part
• COR Image Rotator Web Part
• COR Label Web Part
  

These are the COR Web Parts that are used to build Web Pages for users.

The language option allows the user to select the language of the Web Part. This is matched against the selected language of the User. If they match, then the Web Part is displayed. If they do not match, then the Web Part is not displayed.

Form-based Web Parts¶

There are a number of Form-based Web Parts that are used to interact with Users. These include:

• Link Lists Web Part
• COR Page Locator Web Part
• COR Website Map Web Part
• COR Send Email Web Part
• COR Forgot Password Web Part is used by Users to retrieve lost passwords.
• COR Change Password Web Part is used by Users to change their password.
• COR Login Web Part is used by Users to login.
  

These Web Parts use language files to support multiple languages.

These Web Parts are not configured for language. Rather, the language displayed is based on the language selected by the User.

Select Language Web Part¶

The Select Language Web Part allows the user to select a language. The Web Master typically positions this Web Part on every page, so that the User can select it at any time.

Supported languages are configured for the website and are displayed in the control.

Selecting a Language¶

Users are directed to a greetings page where they can select their language. Alternatively, users may view any page and switch to the language of their choice.

Language Files¶

Web Parts that prompt the user for input are multiple language compliant. Language files are used to configure the Web Parts. The language files contain a list of phrases for English and other languages.
