Boxes that Display Translated Values

MYOB Advanced Customer Portal displays the values of particular text boxes and columns in the language of the locale with which the user log in. These translated values are entered in MYOB Advanced. In this topic, you will find the list of the boxes and columns that can display translated values and the forms in MYOB Advanced where values in these boxes and columns are managed. (Each value type is described in a separate section.)
Note: If portal users do not see translated values in the boxes and columns, you should make sure that the translations have been added in MYOB Advanced.

For details on the localization of user input in MYOB Advanced, see Enabling Multilingual User Input in Locales and Languages.
