SMS and Email communicate the necessary information/updates to the users regarding the multiple transactions on DIGIT applications. For example, when a Trade License application is initiated or forwarded or approved or payment is done in the DIGIT system, the applicant and payer (if the payer is other than the applicant) are informed about the status of the Trade License application through SMS/Email. The language for SMS and Email can be set as per requirement/choice.
Before proceeding with the configuration, make sure the following pre-requisites are met -
Knowledge of DIGIT applications is required.
User should be aware of transactional steps in the DIGIT application.
Users can receive Emails and SMS with necessary information/updates in the decided language.
The language can be decided by the end-users (citizens or employees). End-users can select the language before logging in or after logging in from the inbox page.
If the language is not chosen by the end-user, then SMS/Email is received in the language of, State requirement-based state-level configured language.
Sms and Email localization are pushed to the database through the endpoints for all the languages added to the system. Localization format for SMS/Email
Sample of SMS localisation for Trade License application initiation English localization
Hindi localization
The placeholder <1>,<2>,<3> are replaced by the actual required value which gives important information to the applicant. For example**,** the message will be received by the applicant as: Dear Kamal, Your Trade License application number for Ramjhula Provisional Store has been generated. Your application no. is UK-TL-2020-07-10-002058 You can use this application number….
The default language for SMS and Email can be set by
Clicking on the preferred language from the available language button, on the language selection page, which opens before the login page.
On the citizen or employee inbox page, the language can be selected from the drop-down, available in the right corner of the inbox title bar.
If the language is not chosen by the citizen or employee, then SMS/Email is received in the default configured language. For example, Hindi, English and Kannada are added as three languages in the system for a specific state. In case the state decides that out of these three languages, Kannada should be configured as the default language. In such case Kannada is set as the default language in the MDMS. So when the end-user does not choose any language then SMS/Email is sent in the Kannada language.
The selected language key is sent as a parameter along with other required transaction parameters to the back-end code.
In the back end, to send SMS/Email logic, the language key is checked and based on the language key and SMS unique key, the message is fetched from the database.
This section walks you through the steps to adding a new language or setting up the default language on the DIGIT system.

The DIGIT system supports multiple languages. To add a new language, it should be configured in the MDMS.
Before you proceed with the configuration, make sure the following pre-requisites are met -
Knowledge of json and how to write a json is required.
Knowledge of MDMS is required.
User with permission to edit the git repository where MDMS data is configured.
Users can view the web page of the DIGIT application in the language of their choice by selecting it from the available languages.
SMS and Emails of information about the transactions on the DIGIT application can be received in languages based on the selection.
After adding the new language, the MDMS service needs to be restarted to read the newly added data.
A new language is added in StateInfo.json In MDMS, the file StateInfo.json, under common-masters folder holds the details of the language to be added.
The label’s text is displayed in UI for language selection. The value text is used as the key to refer to the language.
Language is added as an array element under the array named “languages”. Each language element is a label and value pair. By default English language is added. Other languages can be added as an additional/new language which the system will support. System to support multiple ie., more than one language, those languages are added in StateInfo.json as below.
"हिंदी" and "ಕನ್ನಡ",”language3” are more than one language (Hindi, Kannada, some language) added other than "ENGLISH".
In UI the labels and master values that populate in dropdown or textboxes are added as a key for localization. For eg., when a user logs in, at the top of the inbox page, a welcome message in the English language shows as “Welcome User name“. The text “Welcome” in English localization for the Key “CS_LANDING_PAGE_WELCOME_TEXT”.
For all the labels or master value keys, localization should be pushed to the database through the endpoints for all the languages added to the system. The SMS/Email are also added as keys for which values are pushed in all the languages to the database.
Localization format for keys
Sample of localization
In the Hindi language
In the English language
For the languages added in the system if values are not pushed to the database then for the labels or master data, the key will appear in UI. If values for SMS/Email are not pushed, the SMS/Email will not be received.
Any one language from the multiple added language can be set as default. For example, if English, Hindi and Kannada are three languages added in the StateInfo.json and Kannada has to be set as the default language. Set the language key in the text "defaultLanguage" in the StateInfo.json as the value.
