Fields
Description
General
User
Displays the name of the selected user.
Translator
Select Yes to set the user as a translator.
As translator the user is allowed to overwrite custom (user-defined) translations.
User-defined translations get status ‘2’ in the application.
Typically, when importing a new language file, user-defined translations remain unaffected. However, when importing a language file as ‘translator’, the user-defined fields are overwritten by the translations in the language file.
Language
Select a language for the user.

When you do not specify a language for a user, the application does not know which language to display when the user logs on. In the application it is specified that when this occurs, the first available language will be displayed.
Theme
Select a theme for the user.

To see the Themes field, you must first add it to the TSI. To allow users to change their theme themselves, see Web Configuration > Allowing users to choose a theme
