• Every language needs to have language (mandatory) and country (if applicable) codes defined on options tab (languages w/o codes will be ignored)
• Ensure that all language/country combinations are unique (duplicate combinations will be ignored)
• Do not edit/change defined codes if they are used in the knowledge bases
