Question

Using English as a "fallback" in case a process does not have the appropiate node names in the primary site language

We work with several clients. Some want their environments in spanish or portuguese, so most of our envs are in english for our dev team and the client's requested language.

A LOT of time is spent with naming our process nodes twice: once in english when we develop, and the other in whatever other lenguage the client wants. The only reason we do this is because Appian won't let us deploy packages if even one node in a process does not have the other language node name.

This really hinders the devexp for something no one will see. Is there any configuration to allow for English to be a fallback language for the process? Lets say the process has no "Spanish (MX)" names attached to the nodes. In that case, appian would automatically fall back to whatever other name the developer added to the node (in my case "English")

UIT display names are shown in task reports.

But to answer your question, I do not think there is a way to configure this.

Thanks Stefan for your quick reply!

I understand, but in my company only we (developers) see this. We dont need it to be in different languages. Anyways, I hope Appian can take my request of a "fallback" language for a next update. Thanks!
