The DAM for Sitecore packages supports English when installed. To add a new language go through these processes:

  1. Create a new silo language and synchronize. 
    1. Note that, if the language does not exists in Digizuite DAM, then English is synchronized as a fallback).
  2. add the language to all the DAM for Sitecore related items in the core database.

1 Create new silo language

  1. Go to Content editor on master database.
  2. Navigate to sitecore → Media Library → Digizuite.
  3. Select the asset silo.
  4. In the ribbon under the tab DAM FOR SITECORE, click the language button.
  5. Click more languages and select the language to add.
  6. Click the content tab and click Add a new version
  7. Now click Synchronize Silo button.
  8. Now all the configuration and metadata is fetched for the new language.

To verify the new language, go to the DAM Explorer and try to switch the language.
In this example, the silo has been synchronized in English and Danish.
The language may be switched by appending the below examples to the Sitecore URL

/sitecore/client/damforsitecore/DamExplorer?sc_lang=da
/sitecore/client/damforsitecore/DamExplorer?sc_lang=en

2 Add language version on DFS related item in core database
