Follow these steps to add values to a configured language translation:

  1. Click on Utils | Interface Translations | Create and Modify Translations.

    The Create and Modify Translations dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select a language and click Edit. The Interface Translations dialog box is displayed.
    Tip:

    You can also double-click a language to open the Interface Translations dialog box.

  3. Select an item to translate from the Item to Translate drop-down list.
  4. Select a method to filter the list of items:

    • Select Show All Values to display a list of all translated and untranslated items. This option is selected by default.

    • Select Show Translated Values Only to display a list of translated items.

    • Select Show Untranslated Values Only to display a list of untranslated items.

    By default, items are listed by item name (i.e., by the Item column). The ID column displays the identification number of the item. The Translation column displays the entered translation for the item (if available).

    Tip:

    Sort the list by clicking on one of the column headers. The list is then sorted by that column in ascending order.

  5. Double-click the Translation column of the item you want to translate and enter the correct translation.

    Some translatable items support more than one line for translated values. This is indicated by a multi-line text field displayed upon double-clicking the Translation column of the item you want to translate.

    To advance to the next line in a multi-line text field, press Ctrl + Enter.

    Note:

    The Original Value field displays the untranslated value for selected item. When translating, it is a best practice to reference the Original Value field, as the selected item is not always the value you should translate, depending on the selected item type. The Translated Value field displays the value in the Translation column for the selected item in real time (i.e., the Translated Value field is updated as you type in the Translation column).

    Note:

    As you enter characters in the Translation column, the Remaining Characters: field will display the total amount of remaining characters that can be entered in that field.

    1. If desired, you can copy translations from an existing language for the currently selected Item to Translate. To do so, select Copy. The Copy Translations dialog box is displayed.
    2. Select a language from the Source drop-down.
    3. If you want to replace any existing translations with values from the Source language, select the Overwrite Existing Translations check box.
    4. Select Copy.
  6. Click Save and Close to save your translations and return to the Create and Modify Translations dialog box.
    Note:

    If you select Cancel without first saving your changes, you will lose any translations you updated since you last clicked Save and Close or Apply. Updated fields will be highlighted in gray until you click Apply or Save and Close.

  7. Before your translations will take effect for your users, you must recycle the application pool of the Application Server.
    CAUTION:

    If you update an item's Auto-Name string after adding a translation for it, the translation will not be updated. You will need to update the translation manually through the Create and Modify Translations dialog box.
