CWICR Multilingual Support

Overview

CWICR database supports 9 languages with consistent work item codes. This skill enables cross-language work item matching, translation, and regional price comparison.

Supported Languages

Code	Language	Region	Currency
AR	Arabic	Dubai	AED
DE	German	Berlin	EUR
EN	English	Toronto	CAD
ES	Spanish	Barcelona	EUR
FR	French	Paris	EUR
HI	Hindi	Mumbai	INR
PT	Portuguese	São Paulo	BRL
RU	Russian	St. Petersburg	RUB
