Data translation (OP)

When a user inserts new records, the multilanguage field descriptions are stored in the user's data language. LN automatically copies the new field descriptions to the other data languages. These descriptions must be translated to ensure that all users who are running another data language code can read the new fields in their own language.

We recommend to assign dedicated users to perform the data translation; these users must be authorized to switch between different data languages.

To ensure that a user can switch to another data language, you must select the Switch Data Languages check box in the user's user data template properties ( User Data Template (ttams1110m000) session).

Web UI and Worktop users can switch to another data language:

Web UI userOn the Options menu, click Infor ERP Options. Subsequently, click Change Data Language.
Worktop userOn the Tools menu, click Change Data Language.

 

Insertion and translation process

The tasks to translate multilanguage field descriptions depend on the data language the new records are specified in. See these sample scenarios:

Scenario 1: A user works in the base language and inserts a record
  1. When the user inserts a record, the descriptions of the multilanguage-enabled table fields are inserted in the base language code, and are automatically copied to all other linked data languages.
  2. For each table involved, you must run the Print Multi Language Application Data (ttadv4438m000) session. The session prints a report that shows the records that must be translated to other languages.
  3. Switch to the other data language(s) and translate the descriptions of these records.
Scenario 2: A user works in another language and inserts a record
  1. When the user inserts a record, the descriptions of the multilanguage enabled table fields are inserted in the other language code, and are automatically copied to all other available data languages and the base language.
  2. For each table involved, you must run the Print Multi Language Application Data (ttadv4438m000) session. The session prints a report that shows the records that must be translated.
  3. Switch to the base language and translate the descriptions of these records to the base language. The translated descriptions are automatically copied from the base language code to all other available data language codes except the language code in which the records were created first.
  4. Run the Print Multi Language Application Data (ttadv4438m000) session again for each table involved . The session prints a report that shows the records that must be translated from the base language to other languages.

  5. Switch to the other data language(s) and translate the descriptions of these records.

    You must also check whether the descriptions stored in the original language code, that is, the language code in which the records were created, are still correct.

    To remove the corresponding records in the check report, save a dummy change of these descriptions.
