Language mutations
The language mutation is set in the employee's profile, but also through code list items.
If an employee has a language variant selected on their profile, it is possible to:
- Send email notifications from the system in the given language (if the given language is set in the message templates)
- Show the values in cells in the given language to the given employee (if the code pages are set up that way)
