@Dave Longley what exactly do you mean by "adding in another additional language"? Only functionality I can think of is translations and you can add the Swedish translation in Platform Configuration:

Switch the drop-down to "unsupported" to have locate Swedish, enable it and it will then be displayed as "supported" and can make translations in this language in user app...

@Dave LongleyWe are based in Sweden and run Hornbill in 11 languages, among them Swedish.
Base set up was easy using Google translate, getting everything really good took some time since there are a lot of strings that we had to hand-edit.

@HHH - thanks for the message, does google translate change all the employee portal text in Swedish? Do you have any tips that I can use or anything to help me? 

 

Basically we would like the page / text etc to appear in Swedish for staff based there.

@Dave LongleyFirst start by following Victor's advice above.

Employee portal translations/texts can if needed be handled in https://live.hornbill.com/{instance}/admin/platform/customize/employee-portal/ we used translations to handle local contact information etc. not ideal but it worked OK.


As for the internal stuff. What we did was ask our staff to check and report any mistranslations found. I then made an SQL script to run in database direct.

SELECT * FROM h_sys_app_strings where h_value like '%[CHANGEME]%' and h_lang = 'sv'

Change the [CHANGEME] to the string that is wrong (case sensitive) and if needed the 'sv' to whatever language code you are looking for (codes use ISO 639-1 Language Codes). The script will show application and usage of string, you can then change it manually using the GUI in the respective application.
