Configure language packs
The Language Pack node displays all of the language packs that have been registered for the Process Engine (PE) system. Each language pack contains the translated templates used for email notification of workflow activity. At least one language pack must be added; if not, email notification is disabled. Once added, the language pack is available for selection as a preferred locale in a user's Workplace or Workplace XT preferences.
CAUTION Deleting all language packs disables all email notification. If a language pack has been chosen as a user's preferred locale and is subsequently deleted, PE uses the language pack associated with its default locale.
See Enable email notification for an overview of enabling email notification for your PE system.
