| | 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 Allow Changing of 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 user | On the Options menu, click Infor ERP Options.
Subsequently, click Change Data Language. | | Worktop user | On 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 - 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.
- 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.
- 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 - 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
