TRANSLATESTRING

Each string in the Edit Names and Texts dialog has a name and a unique name. In reports, if you enclose a string in the TRANSLATESTRING or TRANSLATEUNIQUESTRING function, the string is translated if the report language is changed . TRANSLATESTRING operates on the string name; TRANSLATEUNIQUESTRING on the unique name.

See Specifying the language.

If you import an application component and the imported content contains objects with the same names as existing objects, you are prompted to import the object with a new name, to overwrite the existing object, or not to import the object. To ensure that translations continue to work in imported content, we recommend that you use TRANSLATEUNIQUESTRING. TRANSLATESTRING remains to ensure backwards compatibility.

See TRANSLATEUNIQUESTRING.
