What is System Generated Content ?

The content that is automatically generated or populated by a software.

System-generated content often includes user interface elements, error messages, system prompts, placeholders, and other text strings that are dynamically generated based on system settings or user interactions.

What is User Generated Content ?

User-generated content generated through site configuration and ongoing contributions from the client and its users.

Admin Users
- During the creation of a site, a site administrator configures various elements including buildings, levels, apartments, companies, resource types, and more.
End Users
- Any form of content, such as images, videos, text, testimonials, and audio, that has been posted by users on online platforms.

Setting languages	Explanation

Setting languages	Explanation
Default Site Language	Equiem Regional Admins need to select a default site language in Admin Panel based on the client’s advice when they first create the site. The default site language governs all applications accessible by this client. Amin Panel> General Settings > Operational Details > Language Site default languages available for Stage 1: [English/French/German/Polish]
Mobile apps (IOS/Android)	The language seen by the end user will be picked up via their device settings. An end user will not be able to control the language within the app itself. e.g. I have set my phone to French, the default site language is German, French is available for the application so I will see the application in French. The end user generated content will still be in German though. e.g.2 I have set my phone to Spanish, the default site language is German, Spanish is NOT available for the application so I will see the application in German. e.g. 3 I have set my phone to Spanish, the default site language is Hungarian, Spanish and Hungarian are NOT available for the application so I will see the application in English.
Equiem One	Equiem One users can select their language from the language picker. See release notes: https://equiem.monday.com/docs/5144582138 Equiem One has more languages available than any of our other applications at this stage! Be careful, only English, French, German and Polish are supported by most apps. If you select Spanish in Equiem One and then navigate to the Vendor Management system, it might fall back to a different language.
Vendor Management System (VMS)	VMS will follow either: the default site language or the language selected by the user in Equiem One e.g. the default site language is German however I have selected French as my preferred language in Equiem One, when I click to open the VMS link from Equiem One, it will open VMS in French.
WebNG	Once web is released, just like in Equiem One, end users will be able to select their default language from the language picker.
Important Note

Language Picker in end user interface
If the user selects a language from their language picker, it will prevail over the default site language if it is available.
e.g. my default site language is in German, I chose French in my language picker.
Default Site Language defined in Admin Panel
If the language the user selects in their site picker is not available for that application or parts of the application, the application or parts of the application will default back the default site language.
e.g. my site is in German, I chose French in my language picker but French is not available for Inviting Visitors, the interface for inviting visitors will remain in German.
English US Fall back
If the default site language is not available for the application or parts of the application, the application or parts of the application will fall back to English.
e.g. my site is in German, the translation for confirmation message for inviting a visitor is not translated in German, the email for inviting visitors will remain in English.
