Identify the field to be translated

  1. To start translating the user data, you must identify which field contains data to be translated.

    As an example, we will look at translating the Document Type description field in HR11.1.

    Screen capture: HR11.1 - Document 1 Type field
  2. In HR11.1, go to the Work Elig tab.
  3. Right-click on the Type field and select Define.

    In the example, this adds a translation of its description (that is, "Employment Eligibility") for our target language.

    HR89.1 Work Eligibility Document Type is displayed.

    Screen capture: HR89.1 Work Eligibility Document Type
  4. To identify the key being used in Description field, put the cursor in the Description text field and press Ctrl+Shift+O.

    A message appears in the Lawson Portal status area:

    PCO-DESCRIPTION | Id=_14 | KNb=Hrk | type=test | Size=30 | Name=form
  5. Get the value of KNb.

    From the example, KNb equals Hrk.
