Add translated text for labels

You can add, remove, and modify translations for configured forms and lists that will be viewed in other languages.

The applications that run on Infor Landmark Technology can be presented in various languages, based on the ISO locale assigned to the actor or the user's web browser settings. When you define new fields or modify labels in the user interface, you may need to translate the labels for the languages (locales) your organization uses.

In Configuration Console, a globe icon displays in label definition fields such as Header message, Default Label, Text Of, and so on. The icon indicates that you can provide translations for the text in the field.

To manage translated text for labels

  1. In the Infor Rich Client, access the Configuration Console for Application.
  2. Access the label field for which you are adding translated text. For example, if you are adding translations for a field you added to a business class, go to the Business Class > Field > FieldName and click Configure at the top of the right pane.

    Labels you can add translations for include a small globe in the far right of the field. For example, for a customized field, the globe displays in the Default Label field. Select the globe icon to open the Locale Translation window.

  3. Select the Create icon.
  4. In the Iso Locale column, type the locale for the translated label. This is the language of the translated label. It should have a 2-character language code and a 2-character country code separated by an underscore. For example, en_US, fr_FR, fr_CA.
  5. In the Translated column, specify the translation for the label. Make sure there are no spaces between words.
  6. If you want to add labels for additional languages, select Create again.
  7. To edit an entry, select the entry and edit the Locale or the Translated value.
  8. To delete a translation, select the entry line and click the Delete icon.
  9. When you are done, click OK. Be sure to save your changes to the form or field. Click the Save button at the top of the right pane.
