You can add new user interface languages if your required languages are not available. See Add a User Interface Language - SuperCROSS for more information.

Adding Descriptive Metadata

You can use Metadata Server to add additional descriptive information to fields. This information will be available to users in SuperCROSS. For example:

If you only want to use descriptive metadata, and do not need multilingual databases, then there is an alternative option for metadata: you can define local metadata using text files and (optionally) static HTML pages. Learn more about this option.
