Overview

Note: The feature is only available if the Internationalization pack is enabled.

QMetry’s NLS (National Language Support) feature allows users to process and retrieve data in native languages in the application. The feature provides the facility to translate the application text strings from one language to another language. It ensures that system fields, tool-tips, error messages, sort order, and calendar buttons automatically adapt to the native language and locale.

Use Case: The organization has its QA teams distributed across regions that are dominated by different languages. So the QA Manager allows translation of QMetry application text to suit respective regional languages.

User can select their own language preference which will overwrite the default language settings.

Note: QMetry Test Management currently supports Spanish as a native language.

If the keyboard supports international language then you can also enter the data in Spanish in QMetry.

1. Go to User Profile by clicking on logged-in user name at top right corner and clicking on Profile.
