Language support of Flow
General
Flow's language support is divided into two categories: user interface language and content language. Content language refers to the language used to input information into Flow.
The user interface languages in Flow are Finnish and English.
Flow's standard delivery supports default language (Finnish or another language) and English as content languages.
If additional languages are needed as content languages besides Finnish and English, the software provider adds them.
For the support of two different languages in Flow, there are separate Finnish and English fields for the following object types:
For Items: description and description2 fields
For Models: description, description2, and description3 fields
For Drawings: description, description2, and description3 fields
