When you enable a new language, ALL of the default strings are in English. It is the District's responsibility to translate all strings in this language appropriately before activating your application for a new school year. Also, please take note that when you activate a new language it is live immediately. Due to this behavior, HSS recommends only activating new languages at the start of the new year and while still in Test Mode (see the New School Year Setup And Test Mode section for more information). |
