Language
Delivery placement text can be printed in languages other than English (i.e., for carriers who prefer a different language). This option allows you to populate the language table, while a specifics option (see below) enables you to enter translations of various delivery placement text. Each carrier’s account record must contain the carrier’s preferred language. When bundle tops and route delivery lists are generated, the carrier’s language will be determined and the appropriate text will be printed on them. A carrier’s language is identified in Account Setup.
