Show First Filled Registry entry
In a multi-language environment, specify whether to display data in the first language that has data if there is no data in the display language selected.

If Show First Filled is set to true
and French is selected as the display language, the English data will display in the field:
Back in All Languages mode, if we then add a French value:
and then select French as the display language, the French translation will now display:
Note: The Show First Filled Registry entry may be set on a system-wide, per user or group basis.
