Background

Översätt_eng When you have placed an order to add additional languages to your system, the English translation of the system’s features will serve as the basis for the new language. You will then need to review and translate all texts in the system, such as menus, headings, and dialogs, from English to the selected language. In this article, we provide you with guidance on the translation process, including key aspects to consider and useful information to help streamline your work.

Note:

Translating AM System into additional languages is a comprehensive task. If you plan to translate the entire system, you will need to translate approximately 3,100 titles, distributed across six different areas of the system. It’s important to note that the translations are carried out without direct insight into the exact context where the texts are used, which requires extra attention to detail.
In addition to the aforementioned menus, headings, and dialogs, it is of course also important to translate existing forms, list presentations, global lists, and units in Cases.

Good to Know

During the translation process, it is important to be aware of certain characters that play a crucial role. These characters have specific functions that help establish a clear structure and proper formatting, which in turn enhances the readability within the system. Below is a brief summary of their purposes and significance.

HTML tags such as , , and .

These characters are used to format the text displayed to the user.

makes the text bold.
represents a line break (new line).
makes the text italic.

Example:
Note! You cannot disable 2FA (two-factor authentication)yourself after activation.
This results in the text:
Note!
You cannot disable 2FA (two-factor authentication) yourself after activation.

Special characters such as {} and |

The {} characters are primarily used to handle variables, enabling the creation of dynamic texts that adapt and include information stored within the system.

Example:
Show all {total} cases
This could result in the text:
Show all 201 cases

The | character is used to specify how words should be inflected depending on whether they refer to singular or plural forms.

Example:
{Unit|Units}
The word “Unit” will be displayed when referring to a single unit, while “Units” is used when referring to multiple units.
