Enable users to receive alerts in their preferred language

Enable the Bilingual Alert feature in the
BlackBerry AtHoc
management system to allow end users to select a preferred language to receive alerts in.
Bilingual alerts can be delivered using the preferred language templates for email and desktop notifications. When a bilingual alert is sent, the selected second language uses the corresponding email and desktop local templates. This ensures that the alert is fully displayed in the user's preferred language. If no delivery template exists for the selected language, the system defaults to the organization locale. Bilingual alerts do not support custom delivery templates.
