Notifications
From EFrontWiki

eFront comes with a default notifications set concerning basic events of the system.
[edit] Edit notifications
The administrator is able to edit these notifications to adjust them in the organization's preferences or he can activate/deactivate them on will. The edit menu allows the administrator to change the Subject and the text body of the notification, to add text templates(for example, the site motto of his organization) and finally to define the notification's language. This option allows the administrator to send notifications in different languages according to every user's language. When selecting a language from the list, a message is created below each language tag and this will be sent to all users who use that language. In the case where a user's language is not defined or no tags are used, then the default message (the first one on the top that has no tag) is used.
