DFS 9.2.0 - Setup multiple languages

Owned by Martin Ulisse
Last updated: Apr 04, 2019 by Mathias Mattson (MHM)

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

  1. Create a new silo language and synchronize. 
    1. Note that, if the language does not exist in the Digizuite DAM Center, then English will be synchronized instead as a fallback language.
  2. Add the language to all the DAM for Sitecore related items in the core database.

1. Create a new silo language

  1. On the DAM Center, make certain that you have the language added already. If not, then add it, and recycle the DAM Center. (Martin Ulisse I added a new step 1 - please validate)
  2. Go to the Content editor on the master database.
  3. Navigate to sitecore → Media Library → Digizuite.
  4. Select the asset silo.
  5. In the ribbon under the tab DAM FOR SITECORE, click the language button.
  6. Click more languages and select the language to add.
  7. Click the content tab and click Add a new version
  8. Now click the Synchronize Silo button.
  9. Now all the configuration and metadata will be fetched for the new language.

To verify that the new new language works, go to the DAM Explorer and try changing to the new language. 
In this example, the silo has been synchronized in English and Danish. (Martin Ulisse No example)
The language may be switched by appending the below examples to the Sitecore URL (Martin Ulisse This has been made smarter)

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

2. Add a language version on DFS related item to the core database

DAM for Sitecore only supports English and Danish out of the box. To enable support for additional languages, the language versions have to be added to all the DAM for Sitecore related items in the core and master database.
