Change language In EPOS there are three default languages and one customer language.
The default languages are:

• German
• English
• French

The customer language is Chinese in the example.

Here a distinction is made between Chinese and Chinese*:

Chinese is the standard translation and Chinese* is a translation of
the customer. (Own columns for the customer in the customer database).
As a default, Chinese and Chinese* are identical.
