Language Translation

In  Language Translation you can translate screen object texts within an application.

This is ideally used when multiple users speak different languages.

How it works:

Once you apply your translations, the object to which you applied the translation will be translated into the user’s assigned language. This can be observed in the Security > User section. You can also view the translated results by switching languages on a launchpad.

You can translate objects via automatic machine translation or manual translation in the following ways:

Use the Google Translate API
Use Naia Translate
Enter custom translations
Import from a file
