Yes, an application can provide interface text in selected languages. Agree which users and tasks need support before estimating the work. Translating menu labels is only part of the requirement if forms, notifications and help text are also used.
How could this work in practice?
A user could select a preferred language while the application retains consistent underlying status codes. Staff in different locations can then work on the same job without translated labels creating different business records.
What needs to be agreed before development?
Decide who supplies and approves translations, including specialist terms. Consider dates, numbers, currencies and text length in the layout. Customer-entered notes may remain in their original language unless a separate translation feature is commissioned.
What should we check before using it?
Test complete tasks in each supported language, including errors and confirmation messages. Check what appears when a translation is missing. New features will need ongoing translation work, so include this in the maintenance process.
