    5. Select Languages for Data Entry: Check all the languages that will be used with this company. The screens will check the language setting for the User and display the correct language on each screen.

    6. System Language: This is the language that will display.

    7. Company Time Zone: With this add-on you can set the time zone for this company. This is useful if your hosting server is in a different time zone and you want your transactions to occur in your zone's time, or if you have multiple companies that are in different time zones. For more information, see Company Time Zone in the related topics section at the bottom of this screen.

      Note: If you use a non-Windows version of NolaPro you may need to load time zone data into your mysql database. Read through how to load time zones in MySQL here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/time-zone-support.html. If you used an older installer of NolaPro (earlier than version 4.0.4205), then you will need to manually add time zone data to mysql following these instructions http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/timezones.html.

    8. Check to treat taxes as VAT Tax: If your company is located outside the United States and you are required to pay VAT taxes, place a checkmark in this box.
