Enable translation

Before you translate individual fields or tables, you need to enable translation of those fields and tables.

The following is a list of the basic tables and fields that you should enable for localization:

Table Name	Field Name
Data Field Config Attribute	Long name
Data Field Config Attribute	Short name
Data Relation District Attribute	Long name
Data Relation District Attribute	Short name
Data Table Config Attribute	Name
Group Page Tab	Title
Group Page Widget	Title
Import/Export Definition	Name
Procedure Definition	Name
Report Definition	Name
View Template	Name
Widget Definition	Title

You can enable more as needed.

To enable these tables and fields for translation:

1. Log on to the District view.
2. Select Admin > Data Dictionary.
3. Using the table above, find and select one of the tables in the Name column.
4. On the Data Dictionary side-tab, click Fields. The list of fields in that table appears.

5. In the Name column, find and click the field shown in the table above.
6. Select the Localized checkbox.

   Note: If you do not see this checkbox, select Default Fields from the Template drop-down.

   • 

     Selecting this checkbox creates a blank field for you to manually enter a translation for this field in every table, or for your import to put its translation for this field in every table.

     Example: If you select the Localized checkbox for the Long name and Short name fields on the Data Config Field Attribute table, a blank field appears for every long name and short name field in every table on the Translate sub-tab.

7. Click Save.
8. Repeat steps 3 –8 for each table and its fields listed in the table at the beginning of this topic.
