Introduction to Project Translation
Project translation is also known as Client localization. This is how the user can choose their language-of-choice for the project they are working with. When the user selects a language, the Client will change its text in accordance with the projects translation settings.
To choose the language for your project - Global Translation
-
Go to Tools > Translation Manager.
-
Add a language, for example Spanish.
The translation database shares terms across multiple projects.
-
You can add terms directly to any component with a text property.
There is no binding involved because the languages are compared directly against the Translation Manager database.
Component Translation
Alternatively, you can right-click on the Root Container of a window and select Translations. The Translatable Terms panel will provide all the terms on the window. This can provide a central place to manage all the translations associated with the window. The difference between the Global and the Component translations is that the Component translations are stored on the component instead of in the translation manager's database.
