Translations
The names and text values of application configuration elements (processes, workflows, form fields, steps, paths, reports, etc.) can be translated into the languages defined in the settings. Translations of these elements can be added directly during their configuration in Designer Studio, collectively through the export and import of translations, or in Portal using the Process design functionality. After switching the interface language and confirming that all configuration elements have their foreign language equivalents, the application will be displayed entirely in the appropriate language version.
THIS ARTICLE describes the process of adding translations for application configuration elements using survey fields as an example.
Exporting translations
To export the translation package for the current application in Portal, follow the instructions below:
Step 1.
Click on the Edit mode icon in the top menu and select Translations → Export.
Step 2.
The Export translations window will be displayed. In it, specify the target Language and the application Process to be translated.
After clicking the Export button, the translated content will be saved as an .xlsx file to the default location on your disk. A message will appear in the window confirming that the export was successful. Now you can close the window.
Step 3.
Edit the downloaded Excel file by adding the missing translations. Save your changes.
Changes should only be made in the target language column marked red, e.g. "de-DE". Modifying data in other columns may hinder the import of translations into the system.
Importing translations
To import the translation package for the current application from an Excel file in Portal, follow the instructions below:
Step 1.
Click on the Edit mode icon in the top menu and select Translations → Import.
Step 2.
In the Import translations window, click Choose file and choose the location of the .xlsx file with translations.
Confirm the operation by selecting Import.
Step 3.
After a short period, the window will display the message "Translations imported successfully. The page will be refreshed". Close this window to ensure that the translations load correctly on the application page.
