Layout use case: changing multi-lingual text in a portal

To change strings for text that must be displayed in the language of the logged in portal user, you must edit the text cell in the Layout Editor.

Caution: 
Some portal layouts have multiple versions. Before modifying a layout, see About responsive UI layouts.
  1. Sign in to the portal and open the page with text that must be edited.
  2. Click the maintenance icon to enter developer mode. See Developer mode.
  3. Use inspection mode to find the cell to edit. See Inspection mode.
  4. Click the pin icon in the cell header to lock the component.
  5. In the inspection ribbon at the top of the page, click the folder icon next to the cell name. This opens the Layout Editor with your pinned cell selected.
  6. Make a note of the Region the cell is in, because you must find it again when you create a copy of the layout for editing.
  7. In the Layout Editor, click Edit. This creates a new copy with your specified originator.
  8. In the layout tools, select the region noted above and then in the active card design, click the text cell.
  9. In layout tools, expand the Cell section and find the Data field. This field contains a string name that begins with the letter "s"; for example, sStartShopping. The string name is defined in the back office application and stored in the Strings table.
  10. Change the text string in the Data field to a new text string. The new string name must exist in the back office Strings table. If it does not, then it must be added using the standard method for creating strings. A translated version of the string must be added for each supported language.
  11. Save and close the layout.
  12. To review the change, refresh the portal page.
  13. Make this change for all versions of the layout, when applicable.
