DEFINE TRANSLATION LANGUAGES#
The Define Translation Languages (IMLA) screen is used to define the languages used within your database.
The definition data for the Define Translation Languages screen is stored in the P2K_AM_LANGUAGES and P2K_AM_TRANSLATIONS tables.
The language that you are translating into must have the HIGHEST (i.e. 99999) sequence number.
Translations may be set for Language, Country or Role or combination thereof.
The sequence order determines the order of translation.
For Example: For Date of Birth
| 100 | English | Date of Birth | ||
| 200 | English | Canada | Birth Date | |
| 300 | English | WWW_MANAGER | Birth Date | |
| 400 | English | Canada | WWW_MANAGER | Birthdate dd-MMM-YYYY |
