Translation tab

Use this tab to view and maintain all label variants in the secondary languages, which represent translations of the primary language label variants on the Overview tab.

The Translation tab is only available if secondary languages are defined for the application. The properties of the application of the current software development project determine whether a label has secondary languages and which secondary languages are used.

For more information on the application properties, see Create a new Application.
