Data Translation Icon

If you have a multi-language version of QAD CSS, you can use the data translation function. You can see translation icons next to the fields.

Translation Icon

Note: The default language in QAD CSS is initially set to English, but QAD CSS works with any language set as the default. Translation is allowed only from the default language. When a user is logged in using a language other than the default, the translation icon does not display.

Clicking the translation icon activates a window that allows translation of the corresponding data field. See Detail Data Translation Maintenance for an example.

Detail Data Translation Maintenance

But for data translation in Menu Maintenance, the system requires that you set up string names first and then use String Translation Maintenance to add translation entries:

1	Click the translation icon next to the field.

2	In Detail Data Translation Maintenance, set string names for different language codes.
