Translating Forms

note_awesome

NOTE:
This process describes how a Form can be translated. If you need to translate other configuration types/items (e.g. Menus, Lookups, Dashboards) you will need to follow the Language export/import process.

The following items can be translated directly from within the Form Translation GUI:

  • Labels for Forms, Pages and Fields
  • Placeholders
  • Tool Tips
  • Validation Messages
  • States

The steps are as follows:

  • Navigate to the Form Designer and select the Form which needs to be translated.
  • Click on the Translate Button - this will open the Form Translation GUI.
  • On top of the interface, select the target language.
  • Go through the tabs and panels and provide your translations
    - Each of the tabs represent a page.
    - Except for the last two tabs, which will list all the validations/business process states on the current form.
  • Repeat these steps for all the languages you want to translate to.
  • Save changes.
  • No publish required, but users have to log out and back into the web application for the translations to load.
