Translating record descriptions

For multilingual installations of Item Harmony, a Translation tab is provided so you can translate record descriptions into different languages. For example, when a room is created, the language used for its description is displayed for all users. You can use the translation tab to translate this description into different languages for different users.

To translate a record description:

  1. Select the record to translate.
  2. Click the Translation tab.
  3. Select the description to translate.
  4. Specify this information:
    Translated Description
    Translate the record description in another language. The system automatically selects the Translated option.
    Translated
    This option is selected automatically if you have specified a translated description.
    Note: When you update any record description on the Record View page, if that description was previously translated, the translated description becomes invalid and this field is automatically cleared.
  5. Click Save. The translated record description is saved and the Translations list is updated.
