What is the alternative language?

The alternative language is the database language in which database content is displayed if attribute values are not specified in the database language used. Using this, for example, you prevent names from being displayed as (Untitled) if they have not been specified in the relevant database language. When you create a database, English (United States) is selected automatically.

Always select the database language in which all attribute values are specified as the alternative language.

For example, if all your database content is specified in German and some in English, select German as the alternative language. Users who log in using the English language will also see database content in German that has not been specified in English.

On the Administration tab, you can change the alternative language.
