Info

Admin: Default user language:
The identifier of the default language (PSA_DFV_LNG_IDN, user-specific) determines the default language of the logged-in user. This language is automatically used as the correspondence language when creating a new correspondence. It can, however, be set differently by the "For contact" assigned as the recipient, or by an assigned main project. Correspondences that do not have either of these two assignments when they are created (for example, a correspondence created at a document that is assigned as an attachment) are auto­matically given this default language.
