Manual Handling of Company Template Translations
Explanation
Use this activity to add new translations or to modify
existing translations of Company Template related attributes.
When a Company Template is created, then all available
translations in the source company are defined for the new template.
The translation database is a part of the IFS/Enterprise
component. On-line modification or addition of translations can be done in
the Template Attribute
Translations window.
Note the following:
- When a company template is installed, the system
ensures that the so-called "PROG" entries are defined in the company
template translation database. The same applies when new basic data is added
via the Company Template detail form. The "PROG" entry relates
to the so-called "PROG" language that actually defines an attribute
key and a related translation. This entry is not visible in the client,
only actual translations are visible.
- All pre-installed translations are marked as System
Defined. For these translations, the current text equals the installation
text.
- It is not possible to manually add new attribute
keys.
- It is always possible to see valid attribute keys
by using the List of Values.
- If the current translation is modified manually
to be something other than the installation text, then this translation
will be marked as non-System Defined.
- If a new translation is added, it will be marked
as non-System Defined and the installation text will be empty.
- If a translatable text is modified in the
Company Template Detail window,
then only the PROG translation will be modified.
- If the basic data is removed using the
Company Template Detail window, then
all the related entries in the translation database will also be removed.
Translations related to a system template can only be removed by the template
owner or by a company template super user.
Prerequisites
A company template must be available, either created
during a fresh installation or upgrade, or created from a source company.
System Effects
The main benefit of the template translations is that
translatable texts related to basic data in a company can be described in several
languages in the same database. The manual window makes it possible to add,
remove, or modify translations of a template.
