# Document Languages

Clients in other countries may need their quotes and invoices in their own language. OrderEazi can create documents in English or Portuguese. You choose the languages for your organisation, set a default language for each client, and pick the language when you create a document.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Organization Setup** permission, in the **Settings** permission group, to turn on more languages.

### How to turn on another language

1. In the main menu, go to **Settings** > **Organization Setup**.
2. Select the **Configuration** tab, then the **System Settings** tab.
3. Scroll down to the **Documents** section.
4. In **Document Languages**, add **Portuguese**. English is always on and can't be removed.
5. Select **Save**.

You see "System Settings saved successfully". The language options below only appear once more than one language is turned on.

### How to set a client's language

1. Open the client.
2. In **Default Document Language**, choose the language.
3. Save the client.

Leave it as **No Preference (Use English)** to use English. New documents for that client then start in their language.

### How to choose the language for a document

On the document screen, such as the quote screen, check **Document Language**. It starts as the client's default, and you can change it for this document.

On the project's **Documents** tab, a globe icon shows documents created in a language other than English. Hover over it to see "Generated in" and the language. When you preview or download one of these, OrderEazi asks "Which language would you like to view this document in?", so you can view it in English or the client's language.

**Example:** Your client in Maputo has **Default Document Language** set to Portuguese. You create a quote, and **Document Language** shows Portuguese. The headings, column titles, and totals print in Portuguese. Your product descriptions print exactly as you typed them.

### What is translated

OrderEazi translates the fixed wording on a document: headings, column titles, totals, bank details, and the signature box. It doesn't translate:

* **Your own text:** Product descriptions, line notes, comments, and appendices print as you typed them.
* **Some delivery wording:** A few headings on packing lists and delivery details stay in English.
* **Emails:** The email that goes with the document isn't translated.
