Report Data Translations
The translations module enables defining multilingual translations for item categories used in the CMR report. This allows for automatic adaptation of CMR document content to the user's or customer's language.
Functionality
The translations module enables:
- Defining translations - codes and descriptions of item categories for different languages
- Managing translations - through a dedicated page with a list of all translations
- Automatic template generation - for all item categories in a selected language
Translation settings
To configure report data translations, you need to:
- Open Item Categories or Item Category Card
- In actions select Report Data Translations
- In the newly opened list define the needed translations
Translation fields
The most important fields in translations:
- Source Code - original code to be translated
- Language Code - target language for translation
- Code Translation - translated code
- Description Translation - translated description
Supported tables
Currently the module supports translations for:
- Item Categories (Item Category)
Import function
Import Item Categories
The function adds missing translation entries for all item categories in the selected language. For each category that does not yet have a translation in that language, the system creates a record with code and description copied from the original values. You can then edit these entries and enter proper translations.
Application in reports
Translations are automatically used in the CMR report when printing in a language other than default.
Note
If a translation for a given language is not found, the system will use the original values from the source table.
