Translations (System Administration)

The translations feature allows administrators to update the user interface to an alternate language or make changes to the text, field labels, button names, etc. within the application.

Translations are more commonly used for labeling fields to meet the language needs of the client. For instance, a customer in Canada might prefer to use "Postal Code" instead of "Zip Code" as the appropriate term for the area.

Simply look for the first letter of the field label to locate the label, and then type in the desired label. It is worth noting that “Pager” for instance, can be used as “Permit” but the word “Pager” would still be the dynamic stamp token name. If the field must be used for dynamic stamps, carefully plan the label swap so all required functionality is maintained.

Below are two examples of how the translation area can be used. The first example shows how to update the Project Name identifier on the Project Information page to read as “Permit Number.”

The second example demonstrates how to update the Task List button (seen when inside of a project) to read as “To Do List.” It is recommend that you consult your Avolve Software contact prior to making changes as some changes can affect multiple screens within the application.

  1. Navigate to Adminà Translations.

  2. Select the letter P to be taken to all objects starting with this letter.

  1. In the Phrase column, locate the Projects field.

  2. In the Translations column to the right, enter “Assignments”

  1. Click the Save button to get the results shown below in the Project Information  screen.

 To see a field in the Translation user interface for ProjectFlow eform, you must first display the area in the eform at least once. Return to Translations and it will become available for you to edit. Once the edit is complete, an IISReset is required because the ProjectDox.Web.UI is a separate IIS node.
