Language Translation

The Language Translation dialog box can be displayed at any time in the program by pressing the Ctl, Alt and L keys simultaneously.

The yellow list box contains all the captions in the current form for the current language. On selecting an item in the list box the text is displayed in the white Caption: text box. The user can edit or translate the value as required. Changes are instantly displayed in the underlying form. The Program: value, displayed below the text box, indicates the master value given to the caption. This is always in English, as a reference for the user and cannot be edited.

The button displays all messages used throughout the program in a similar fashion to the captions. These can also be edited/translated by the user. Note there are two types of message, selected via the option group: System and Application. These messages should normally only be changed when translating to a new language.

Note:  
  • Change language is only available to usernames with the appropriate permissions defined.
  • Grid headings are translated individually as explained in Edit grid headings.
