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.
