Activating and Customizing New Languages

By default, we provide content for English and Spanish.  You can add additional languages by activating a new language and making customizations as needed to the new language.

Note
titleTake Care When Activating New Languages

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.
