Localizing a Form

When you work with forms in a language other than English, you might observe a word or phrase that is not properly translated.

To add or correct a translated word or phrase, do the following:

1.From the Configuration console, click Build > Business Objects.

2.Open a business object and click the Forms tab.

3.Open a form and click the Translation Tool.

4.Select a language from the drop-down list. The application displays the Translation Tool page. It is preset for the form that you are working on.

5.In the third column, click a translated string to open it for editing.

6.Do one of the following:

•Select a string from the drop-down list, if the application lists any suggestions.

•Enter new text.

7.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.

8.Change additional strings as necessary.

9.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.

You can also export the words or phrases to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, make your changes, and then import the translated spreadsheet. For more information, see Importing or Exporting a Translation Spreadsheet.
