Localizing a Layout
1 min
When you work with layouts in a language other than English, you might observe a word or phrase that is not properly translated. Do the following to add or correct a translated word or phrase:
- From the Configuration console, click Build > Business Objects.
- Select a business object > Layouts tab > open a layout.
- Click the translation tool icon
and choose the locale language from the drop-down menu. The application displays the Translation Tool workspace and it is preset for the layout that you are working on.
- Optional. To view words and phrases from all layouts, choose All in the Layouts drop-down menu.
- Click Search to view the words and phrases from the current layout. The application displays the search results.
- The first column shows the property, that is, the specific place, where a word or phrase is used in the current form.
- The third column shows the word or phrase as it appears right now for the language that you selected.
- In the third column, click a translated string to open it for editing.
- Do one of the following:
- Select a string from the drop-down list, if the application lists any suggestions.
- Enter new text.
- Press Enter to record (but not save) the change. The application displays a red triangle next to the unsaved text string. This marks the changed string for reference.
- Change additional strings as necessary.
- Do one of the following:
- To save your changes, click Save.
- To remove all of the changes that made, click Revert. The application returns the strings to their original settings.
- Optional. Import the translation strings to a spreadsheet. See Importing Language Records from Microsoft Excel.
