to enable localization features.
- Select
Edit Business Object.
- Click
Bus Ob Properties.
- Select the

Note: To enable localization support for a Field in a Group Member,
enable localization for the Group Leader, and then select the Fields to
translate.
- Click
OK.
The
Manage Culture-specific Fields dialog opens.

languages enabled for your system.

A message opens, indicating the results of the copy.
- Close the message.
You can now:
- Use the
Data Editor to translate values for
culture-specific Fields. You can do this before you publish the Blueprint.

includes the Lookup Table and use the Language Pack Editor to translate values
for culture-specific Fields. Refer to
Create a Language Pack.
- Manage culture Fields from the Object Manager. From the Object
Manager, select the Lookup Table, and then click the
Manage Culture Fields link.
