String Translation Maintenance

The QAD CSS String Translation Maintenance function lets administrators translate many of the maintenance buttons, labels, and informational text and phrases. Translated text can appear on many QAD CSS pages in different languages.

Note: The general appearances of numbers and dates are set up in Language Control Maintenance.

Translations of different elements are maintained through different functions. String Translation Maintenance covers most noneditable text that appears as labels on different screens including pop-up windows. This also translates maintenance buttons such as Add and Cancel.

Available options in String Translation Maintenance are dictated by the language modules and licenses that have been purchased with QAD CSS.
