Basic Settings
AM System is provided with Swedish and English as standard languages. This means that the system’s menus, functions, and interface can be displayed in either of these languages, depending on how the system and user profiles are configured. For organizations with users in different countries or with different language needs, this provides a flexible way to tailor the user experience from the start. If you need additional languages, these can also be ordered, as described later in this article.
As an administrator, you can choose which languages should be available in the system under Administrator » Settings » Language. There, you get an overview of the languages available and can easily decide which ones should be active for your organization. The checkboxes next to each language show whether the language is active or not. When a language is active, it can be used in the system; when it is inactive, it is not available.
Default language
Here, you also choose which of the active languages should be the system’s default language. The default language acts as the system’s primary language setting and affects several parts of the user experience and system behavior. It is therefore important to choose a default language that fits your organization and your most common user needs.
The default language controls the following in your system:
- which language is shown on the login page
- which language new profiles receive by default when they are created, although this can be changed later
- which language is used when calling Read APIs for Case
Management and Documents.
Which Language Do Users See when they login?
Each user is associated with a specific profile, which can be managed through the Administrator » Profiles menu. Within this profile, administrators can set the language that the user will see when logging into the system.
For example, if the default language of the system is set to English, but the user has selected Swedish in their profile, they will see the login page in English. Once the user logs in, however, the interface will be displayed in Swedish.
Additional Languages
It is possible to activate additional languages beyond those already included. This option is available in certain pricing plans, but can also be added for an extra fee if it is not part of your current plan. By customizing the languages, you can tailor the system to meet your specific needs and user groups.

Managing Documents in Multiple Languages
We recommend using bundlings to manage documents available in multiple languages. By grouping language versions within the same bundling, they share both document numbers and version control, making it easy to keep content consistent and up to date. To learn more, see the article What is a bundle and how is it used?
