====== Languages and localization ======
Lime CRM has multilingual support and users may log on to the same database with different languages.

===== Enabling and disabling languages in LISA =====
Active languages are configured in LISA when a new database is created. This can also be changed later through the **Database Overview** | **Database properties** dialog in LISA.

===== Enabling and disabling languages programmatically =====
To enable a language in the database, e.g. Norwegian (no) follow these steps:

  - Execute the following SQL statement: <code tsql>EXECUTE lsp_setlanguageactive @@lang = N'no', @@active = 1</code>
  - Restart the LDC COM+ service.
  - Restart Lime CRM and the LISA service if they are running.

To disable a language in the database repeat the steps but run the following SQL statement instead: <code tsql>EXECUTE lsp_setlanguageactive @@lang = N'no', @@active = 0</code>

===== How LIME Desktop Client determines what language to display =====
When the desktop client starts, it performs the following steps to determine what language to display to the user:

  - It checks the command line for the arguments 'Language' or 'Lang' (starting with Lime CRM 10.12). Example: ''lime.exe /language "da"''
  - It checks in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lundalogik\Lime for the value 'Language'.
  - It checks in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lundalogik\Lime for the value 'Language' (This is where the language selected at installation is stored).
