The workflow engine maintains a thread-level variable called vLanguage.  The variable maintains the current language for the thread.  The language defaults to ENGLISH, but can be set by the workflow itself.  The language can also be initially set when creating a new workflow thread.

The workflow engine uses the thread language variable for the following:

1. To determine the language in which it should send any emails or email questions.

2. To determine the language in which it should expect any responses to email questions that come back.  It will interpret responses against the expected answers in the language that is currently specified for the thread.

NOTE:  The thread language setting only impacts emails that are sent and/or received by the workflow engine.  The various logs maintained by the workflow engine are unaffected by the thread language and will be written in the MIE's default language (English).
