LOCALIZATION CHANGES

XTRF 7 is offered in the following languages: English UK, French, German, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Ukrainian.

Chinese, Dutch, Estonian, Japanese, Romanian, Lithuanian and Swedish are present in client-facing interfaces only.

From 7.0, XTRF discontinues localization into: English (Canada) and Finnish.

In future releases, XTRF is planning to expand the list of localized languages with Irish for client-facing interfaces and Japanese for the whole UI.

Based on feedback received from our clients and in an attempt to unify terminology in the XTRF platform, we have introduced the following changes:

• English (US) will be the default system language from version 7.0
• “Smart” in “Smart Project”, “Smart Quote” and “Smart Views” will be treated as an XTRF-specific concept and left in English
• “Customer Portal” has been renamed as “Client Portal”; the term “client” is now used exclusively in the system
• From now on, the English (US) version will be consistently using the term “vendor”
• “Virtual Column” has been renamed as “Custom Column”
• Project/Taks/Job status “Opened” has been changed to “Open”
• The term “vacation” referring to vendor unavailability has been replaced with “holidays”
