Register Translations for Free Fields and Properties

Explanation

This activity is used to register translations for property code descriptions. The code you translate may be used as a free field for employees or as a property code for an employee, company or any other context.

This activity will also show how you can translate descriptions of property fields when a property code has multiple property fields.

Prerequisites

• Property codes and default descriptions are required to be already defined in the Property Field Definition window.
• If property code has multiple fields, property fields and default descriptions for the fields should also be defined using the Multiple Field Definition window.
• The language code must be linked to the user ID.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the translated descriptions will apply instead of the default descriptions when a specific language is used.
