Users can set their own language for the user interface. Available languages are:

  • English
  • French
  • Russian
  • Spanish
  • German
  • Finnish
  • Swedish
  • Polish

Changing Language

User language can be changes as follows:

  1. Login to QPR ProcessAnalyzer.
  2. Click the Main menu (on top left) and click User Settings.
  3. Choose a language from the Language list
  4. Click Save to close the dialog.

The language is saved to user settings so the language is remembered when the user logs in the next time (also when using another computer).

Date Format Settings

In addition to the language, the following date formatting related settings can be set by each user:

  • Date format: Defines how date values appears in the Web UI. The format can be e.g. MM/dd/yyyy or m.D.yyyy. Parts that can be used: d (day of month as one or two digits), dd (day of month as two digits), M (month as one or two digits), MM (month as two digits), yy (year as two digits) and yyyy (year as four digits).
  • First day of week: The first day of the week that appears in calendars to pick dates.
  • Use 12-hour clock: Whether the 24-hour or 12-hour clock is used.

Language Support Details

Almost all items in the UI are translated with the following exceptions:

  • Actual process mining data imported to QPR ProcessAnalyzer (e.g. case and event attribute names, event type names, case and event attribute values)
  • Some tooltips that contain detailed instructions
  • Some special error messages

In addition, date and number formats are set based on corresponding cultural conventions. English uses the US conventions.

There is a system wide default language which new user accounts get until user changes her/his language. Also the login page is translated using the default language, when QPR ProcessAnalyzer is for the first time accessed using a certain web browser. The language is stored to that browser's local storage, and thus the browser remembers the last used language and in the next time shows the login page in that language.

The language is also stored to the sys:language session variable. The variable cannot be removed and it must contain one of the valid languages.

The system default language is stored to the database configuration table to setting DefaultUiLanguage.
