Setting the Language for KDS Displays

Setup for Multiple Language Users (optional)

  • To implement multiple languages on KDS displays, privileged users must first add and configure all alternate languages in the Languages module from the Enterprise level. English is the default language.

  • Each property can support up to four languages (1–4) . To make alternate languages available to KDS displays, privileged users must first assign languages from the Property Parameters module at the property level.

See the following topics in the Oracle MICROS Simphony Configuration Guide for more information:
  • Configuring Languages

  • Setting Languages for the Property

Complete these steps after all languages have been configured and assigned to a property:

  1. Select the property, click Setup, and then click KDS Displays.
  2. Double-click the appropriate KDS Display record to open it.
  3. From the General tab, select the Default Language from the drop-down list, and then click Save.

    Note:

    A KDS bump bar and toolbar function named Language is available which allows users to switch languages on the KDS display. When switching languages on the KDS display, the order of the available languages is determined by the order in which each language was added to the Property Parameters module’s Language 1 – Language 4 fields.
