How to manage language?
FiNIMS allows you to enable multiple languages and choose a default language for your institute management system. To modify language key phrases, navigate to your language directory. For example, for English, use the file /application/language/English/app_files/system_lang.php for general phrases, and /application/language/English/form_validation_lang.php for validation messages. FiNIMS supports 77 languages, including Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Basque, Bengali, Bosnian, Catalan, Cebuano, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kannada, Korean, Kurdish, Lao, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malagasy, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Maori, Marathi, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Scottish, Sinhala, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish, Sundanese, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Urdu, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Xhosa, Yiddish, and Croatian.
To add a new language, go to System Settings > Languages and click the Add button located at the top-right corner of the language list page.
After clicking of this button Add Language modal will be open. Here enter Language, Language Short Code, Country Code and then click on Save button.
To activate a language in which you want FiNIMS to run, click the Action button located in the last column of the language list.
To edit country codes, navigate to System Settings > Languages. The language list will appear, and in the Country Code column, you can update the predefined international codes. You can also look up these codes online if needed. Enter the correct country code next to the corresponding country and click outside the column. After refreshing the page, the updated country code will be applied, and the country flag will automatically update based on the new code.
Note: Default languages cannot be edited.
To delete language click on the Remove icon.
Note: Default languages cannot be deleted.
In FiNIMS, RTL mode is a feature that adjusts the platform’s interface to display content correctly for users who read and write in right-to-left languages, such as Arabic or Hebrew. When RTL mode is enabled, the layout, text, images, and other elements are aligned from right to left instead of the usual left-to-right orientation.
Enabling RTL mode is especially helpful for institutes that have students, teachers, or staff who primarily use RTL languages. It ensures that the platform’s content and features are fully accessible, providing a smooth and user-friendly experience for these users.
To enable RTL mode, go to System Settings > Languages. On the right side, in the Is RTL column, simply check the box next to the language you want FiNIMS to display in RTL mode.
