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 Define Translation Languages form (IMLA). 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 two fields - one for the primary language and one for the translation.
When the lexicon is used, an English user will see an English pick list and a French user will see a French pick list.
