The Languages \[sys_language\] table contains a list of the languages for which
translated text is available.
To enable translation to a new language, add a record to the Languages table. The main fields for this table are:

* Name: Language name
* ID: [BCP 47](http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry) code for the language
* Text Direction: Direction of text in this language
* Active: Indicator that shows whether the language has been activated (true) for this instance or not (false)
* Fallback: Name of the language that the instance uses if a translation is not available
