	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>You must define the languages to be used by each company by using the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs/tcmcs0146m000" role="session">Languages (tcmcs0146m000)</GUIRef> session. For each language you specify:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>A language code</ListItem>

			<Paragraph>You have an English SSA ERP system and you have installed and set up French as a second system language. SSA ERP assigns the language number 4 to French.</Paragraph>

		<TABLE border="1"><THEAD><TR><TD>Language</TD>
					<TD>Description</TD>
					<TD>System language</TD>

		<Paragraph>If you acquire a Canadian French version of SSA ERP at a later date, you can replace French with Canadian French. Change your definition of Canadian in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs/tcmcs0146m000" role="session">Languages (tcmcs0146m000)</GUIRef> session and instead of 4, select the language number that SSA ERP assigns to Canadian French.</Paragraph>
