Translation Capability#
The language of the system can be tailored to suit your needs. Translation can vary from minor terminology changes to full multilingual support.The languages that are used in the application are defined on the IMLA-Define Translation Languages form. Translations cascade down from the highest applicable language (based on Seq #) to the base language which is USA English. This means that if an expression is not translated, you will still see meaningful information - in English.
When you log in, your personal information is used to determine which languages are applicable to you. It depends on your language of preference, country and role. All user interface components are translated appropriately for you. On forms containing fields that are translatable, you will see 2 fields - one for the primary language and one for the translation. In the example below, displayed values are translatable so you will see two descriptions for each saved value. When the lexicon is used, an English user will see an English pick list and a French user will see a French pick list.
End user is able to update ENG field on IMFDH by right click on the main prompt and entering the translation in the 'Fill in translations below' dialog. Once it is added the user can update or delete translation in IMLA for corresponding context.
To add a translation for the form's column detail, use the translation popup menu on the form itself. It is available for any column where the Translation Allowed is turned on in IMCD.
