You can configure the language that appears on KDS Displays for a property. When configured, kitchen staff will see the following elements on the display in their native language:
  • User interface messages

  • Dialog window titles

  • List columns headers

  • Item status on reports

  • Statistics

  • Chit labels that reflect the current state of the order

  • Static information such as seat, count, zone, subtotal, and so on
