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.
