To Translate Bound Strings

In Customer Portal, to translate collected strings, you use the Translation Dictionaries (SM200540) form. For more information, see Translation Process.

To Translate Strings Bound to a Form

1. Open the Translation Dictionaries (SM200540) form.
2. In the Language box, select the check boxes for the languages to which you want to translate the strings.
3. To view bound strings in the tables, clear the Show Only Unbound check box if it was selected.
4. To translate a string, do the following on the Collected tab:
   1. In the Default Values table, select the string you want to translate.
   2. If the string has only one occurrence in the system (that is, if only one row is displayed in the Key-Specific Values table), type the translation in the [Target language] column (that is, the column with the name of the target language).
   3. If the string has multiple occurrences in the system, do the following:
      1. In the [Target language] column of the Default Values table, type the translation that is appropriate for most of the occurrences.
      2. In the [Target language] column of the Key-Specific Values table, type the translations for the specific occurrences that differ from the translation in the Default Values table.
      3. If the translation of the occurrence in the Key-Specific Values table is the same as the translation in the Default Values table, leave the column blank.
      Note: The translation in the Default Values table applies to all occurrences of the string, regardless of the filtering applied on the form, except for the occurrences with a translation specified in the Key-Specific Values table.
5. On the form toolbar, click Save to save your changes.

   If the string was translated into all languages defined in the system, the string is automatically hidden.

6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until you translate all bound strings in the system.
