Register Translations for Free Fields and Properties
Explanation
This activity is used to register translations
for property code descriptions.
The code you translate may be used as a free field for
employees or as a property code for an employee, company or any other context.
This activity will also show how you can translate descriptions
of property fields when a property code has multiple property fields.
Prerequisites
- Property codes and default descriptions are required to be already defined
in the Property Field Definition window.
- If property code has multiple fields, property
fields and
default descriptions for the fields should also be defined using the
Multiple Field Definition window.
- The
language code must be linked to the user ID.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the translated descriptions will apply
instead of the default descriptions when a specific language is used.

fields that has already been entered with a specific language code.

property code description should already be translated in the
Property Field Translation window.
