Assign Languages

Available from Version: -

Operating System: Windows

empower^® Add-in: Template Management

If enabled by your empower^® Administrators, you can assign languages to elements in the empower^® Library.

The language assignment feature is only available in PowerPoint.

Depending on the setup of your empower^® Environment, the language assignment feature might not be available.

To assign a language to an element, the permission role Folder Administrator, Editor or Author is required.

For further information regarding the permission concept, see Permission Concept.

Usually, the element language is detected automatically when you save an element to the empower^® Library. If the language cannot be detected, the language option Universal is assigned to the element. If the language could not be detected successfully or if you want to change the assigned language, you can assign another language to the element via the empower^® Library.
To do so, follow the following steps:
Select the element in the empower^® Library. You can also select multiple elements at once. In the navigation bar, navigate to the group Updates. Click on the button Languages (Figure 1483, “Button Languages”). A drop-down menu opens	Figure 1483. Button Languages
In the drop-down menu, click on the option Change Language (Figure 1484, “Option Change Language”).	Figure 1484. Option Change Language
Then, select the language you want to assign to the element (Figure 1485, “Select Language”). The language is assigned to the element.	Figure 1485. Select Language
If a language has been assigned to an element, a flag symbol is displayed in the element's thumbnail (Figure 1486, “Thumbnail with Flag Symbol”).	Figure 1486. Thumbnail with Flag Symbol

The language option Universal is meant for elements that cannot be assigned to a certain language.

If the option Universal has been assigned to an element, no flag symbol is displayed in the element's thumbnail.

Alternatively, you can access the option Language via the context element of an element.
