Introduction


The languages view allows you to add translations in various languages for all visible elements in the Product Guide. It has two main sections. One is the action bar which handles language selection, creation and deletion. Below, you find the object tree for translating elements.

Object Tree


The object tree contains all components which have texts to edit or to translate. Clicking on a tree elements opens its detail layout. In this layout all corresponding texts can be edited.

The object tree can be separated into two different sections: dynamic and static objects.

  1. Dynamic:
    These are Stages, Questions and Answer Options. All are sorted hierarchical. That means that like in the concept board a Question is placed within its Stage and an Answer Option within its Question. They are dynamic because if you add or delete something in the concept board the element is also added or deleted in the tree as well.

  2. Static:
    These are the Recommendation Stage, Product Card, General Configurations, Service Error Dialogs and the Restart Product Guide Dialog. Independent from the elements from the concept board these elements are always available and cannot be removed.
    (info) Note: Although the Recommendation Stage is static it can contain dynamic Question and Answer Option elements.

Action Bar


The Action bar includes two comboboxes to select existing languages and an "Add Language" button. Furthermore each combobox has a menu in which all texts from this language can be copies to another existing language. Moreover the language can also be removed within this menu.

Add a New Language

You can add several new languages to your Product Guide for different countries or regions (see Add a Language).

Copy All Texts to Another Language

With the aid of the "Copy All Texts to..." functionality you can transfer all texts from one language to another. Especially for no or minor text changes like british and american English this feature can be very useful and timesaving (see Copy Content to Another Language).

Delete a Language

Clicking the "Delete Language" button in the combobox menu opens a modal window to confirm the deletion process. Afterwards the language and all corresponding text are deleted.

Warning

Be aware that this step cannot be reverted.
