Copy Installation Text for Basic Data Translation on Module and Lu Level

Explanation

Use this activity to copy the installation text/translation to the current text/translation on Module and Logical Unit (LU) level.

During a fresh installation or upgrade, each component will define basic data translations in one or more languages. If the translation does not exist, then a new translation will be defined with the installation text/translation equal to the (current) text/translation. If the translation already exists, then the following will happen:

This means that if the end-user has modified an installed translation, or manually added a new one, then this translation will never be modified during the installation/upgrade phase.

If it is required to set the current text/translation to the installation text/translation for all attribute keys related to a specific module and Logical Unit follow the procedure below. Copying for each translation will only take place if the following applies:

All modified translations will be marked as System Defined.

Prerequisites
