How data is translated in MECDataTranslator Here is a brief process flow on how MECDataTranslator checks for data to translate: First, it will try to find a translation value for the given partner and application context. If there is no match, then it will try to find a translation for blank (generic) partner and top application context. If there is no match, then it will use the non-translated original value.
