How Translation Works on the Site
Large parts of the app operate using static translation. This is dependant on the language set under user. The rest is populated by the semi-dynamic content below.
Configuration Settings
- Admin users can configure translations for custom settings such as:
-
- Asset categories
- Cost codes
- Site Types
- Navigation Items
- Service Types
- Work Order Types
- Document Types
- Building Types
- Under the languages area, users can view enabled languages and use the toggle to show those that aren't enabled
- To enable a language users can select the record and check enabled
- From here, users can then head to the Translations area
- Users can toggle between available languages within the dropdown
- Users can use the second dropdown to display fields for different areas of the system, such as Asset Categories or Work Order Types
- Users can enter translated values within each field as necessary
To use AI here, users must set the following configuration variable to True:
Feature Flag Ai Translation
- Should users have AI enabled here, they can select generate with AI on the right
- From here a side pane will open where the user can hit start to begin generating translations with the AI
- Users can also import translations
- To do this, they can select the actions wheel and hit import where a modal will appear
- From here, users can select the import type, and the modal will display instructions on what is required in each field of the template as well as which fields are mandatory
- Users can then select download template and amend as needed
