Hi Priya,

Language inheritance is set for each language, and is defined by the administrator as the ordering of all the other languages of the repository, split into: (1) primary inheritance (for languages whose values are close enough to the current language to be acceptable for publishing); and (2)

secondary inheritance (for languages whose values are too different from the current language to be acceptable for publishing, but are perhaps useful during data entry and/or translation).

Inheritance of data within MDM client applications is based on the language-specific ordering for the language you choose when you first connect to the repository, inheritance of metadata within the MDM Console is based on the primary language and the repository-specific language ordering defined for each MDM repository .

MDM client applications display: (1) actual values from the

current language; (2) primary inherited values; and (3) secondary inherited values. By contrast, a published catalog (e.g. an electronic Web catalog or a printed catalog) is likely to display only: (4) actual values; and (5) primary inherited values; but (6) hide secondary inherited values, which are displayed in the MDM client applications only for context during data entry and/or to assist in translation.

Consider a repository with three language layers: (1) English [US]; (2) English [UK]; and (3) German [DE]. Both English values are typically the same, so you can set the value for one version of English and allow the other to inherit it. However, you donu2019t want the English languages to inherit German or vice versa.

In the above scenario if we take Language English[US] then its Primary Inheritance will be English [UK] and its seconday Inheritance will be German[DE] , similarly for English[UK] primary Inheritance will be English[US] and secondary Inheritance will be Greman[DE] and now since for German we don`t dont want any primary Inheritance so in that case its Primary Inheritance will be None and its Secondary Inheritance will be both English[US] and English[UK].

Hope this would be helpful..

Hi Parul,

Hi Priya,

You can find the level of Inheritance in Console itself.

Follow the below path :

1. Click on Server in Console

2. Select the Repository under the Repositories coming on the right pane.

3. Under the Repository Detail Tab you will find Languages

Under languages field "Language Ordering" is done and then you can define the actual languages there with the Primary language and secondary Language options.

For Eg:

Languages : English [US] English [UK] Spanish [ES]

English [US] : English [UK] Spanish [ES]

English [UK] : English [US] Spanish [ES]

You will be finding the arrangement in the above manner as soon as you will select the Languages.

Now for English [US] again English [UK] is the primary language and Spanish [ES] is the secondary Language.

So in the above manner you can specify or do ordering of the languages.

In case of MDM Client, all the data will be displayed in that Language which you would be selecting while Logging into the Data Manager.

Hope this would solve your Issue.
