To translate a column phrase

  1. On the Language Definition form, select a language other than U. S. English.
  2. Press Xlate (F6) and select Column Phrases.

    The Columns Phrase Translation form appears.

  3. On the Column Translation form, select the Long Translation field next to the column phrase to be translated and type your translation of the column phrase.

    If the Column Translation form does not have enough space to display the translations for all parts of the column phrase, press Define (F6) to use the Extended Phrase Translation subform.

    1. On the Extended Phrase Translation subform, press Tab or the down arrow (↓) to highlight one of the Long Translation fields.
    2. Type the extended translation for the column phrase.
    3. Press Enter.

      The Extended Phrase Translation subform closes. If the extended translation is longer than the Column Translation form can display, a right arrow appears at the end of the field to indicate that an extended translation is defined.

  4. Press Enter twice to save the translations.

    The Language Definition form returns.
