Overview
The Localisation Settings page allows you to define regional preferences for your AMFG environment, including language, currency, VAT rates, and date and time formats.
These settings are applied consistently across the entire application and all AMFG modules, ensuring accurate localisation of data and documents.
You can access this page by navigating to Settings → Localisation.
Languages
The default language of the system will be set to English initially. You can change it by selecting a different language from the dropdown menu:
Adding a new Language
1. To add an additional language to your system, click the '+' symbol and choose a language from the drop-down menu.
You can remove excessive languages with the red 'x' icon on the right.
2. The Default language selected will be applied when downloading PDF documents or sending external communication to your customers from AMFG.
Please note that the corresponding Language version would have to be created for each template in Settings > Email & PDF templates; otherwise, you will recieve and error and your template won't be sent/downloaded accordingly!
3. If you add an attribute in one language, you must add a translation for it in all other supported languages to ensure consistency. This can now be managed via the Manage Translations tab on the Attributes & Status page:
4. To apply your additional language to the customer portal, AMFG will provide you with a separate URL and iframe to embed into your website. The only difference in the iframe would be the data language parameter that looks like this by default: data-language="EN". For each different language, the value of the parameter should be changed accordingly: data-language="DE", data-language="FR", etc.
You can configure as many languages as required!
Currencies
Your Local currency will be preset and locked by default. If you need to change it, please contact our Support team via the in-app chat or at <support@amfg.ai>.
Adding a new Currency
1. If additional currencies are needed, add them by clicking the '+' button and selecting a currency from the dropdown menu
2. When a new currency is added, you can also choose the position of the currency sign (before/after the amount) for all costs displayed across the console.
3. To make sure the system recalculates costs accurately in your new currency, please set up the Exchange rate against your Local currency.
If the rates fluctuate on the global market, you would have to update the Exchange rates manually in the Localisation settings as well!
VAT Rate
After setting up the currencies, the next configuration required is the VAT rate.
For all countries outside of the US, we apply a Fixed VAT Rate.
1. First, navigate to Settings > Attributes & Status -> Contact -> VAT Rates section and create your fixed VAT rate values with the '+ Add VAT rate' button:
2. Then navigate to Settings > Localisation and select your fixed VAT rate for both services and delivery from the drop-down menu:
3. Alternatively, you can apply the US Sales Tax option if your customers are based mainly in the US. The following configurations are applicable here:
Select the states in which your business has a Nexus (1)
Specify which of these states have Destination-based nexus and which have Origin-based nexus (2)
Set the tax rate for origin-based sales tax states as a percentage (3)
You can also charge taxes on shipping fees by checking the corresponding checkbox (4)
Date & Time
Here you can configure the default settings of your console for:
Choose the system's default Time Zone.
Note: This can be overwritten by the personal time zone settings in Settings > Users > User Details
