Copy Installation Text on Line for Basic Data Translation

Explanation

Use this activity to copy the installation text/translation to the current text/translation, thus updating the current text/translation on a translation line.

During a fresh installation or upgrade, each component will define basic data translations in one or more languages. If the translation does not exist, then a new translation will be defined with the installation text/translation equal to the (current) text/translation. If the translation already exists then the following will happen:

This means that if the end-user has modified an installed translation, or manually added a new one, then this translation will never be modified during the installation/upgrade phase.

If it is required to set the current text/translation to the installation text/translation follow the procedure below. The choice is enabled if the current text/translation differs from the installation text/translation and the installation text/translation is not empty. 

Several translation lines can be updated at the same time.

An updated translation will always be marked as System Defined.
