Entering description translations

Enter description translations for languages. For example, when an asset is created, the description becomes the record’s description for every language. If the asset’s description is entered in English, it will appear in English to all users.

Use the Translations tab to translate the description into specific languages. This feature only applies to multilingual installations.

Note: When you update a description on the Record View page of any entity record, if that description has previously been translated, the translation becomes invalid and the system unselects Translated.

To enter description translations:

  1. From any form associated with an entity, select the record you wish to translate, and then click the Translations tab.
  2. Select the description to translate.
  3. Translated Description—Enter the translated description for the language. The system automatically selects Translated.
  4. Translated—Select to indicate that you have entered a translated description.
  5. Click Submit.
