2.13 Adding Translations Into A Specification Template

For each specification template, you can add translations so the template will display in the user’s default locale.

Step 1: Select Quality Management tab and select Specification Manager. Select the Template Manager tab and from the Options menu beside your specification, click on Template Settings.

Step 2: Select your default locale and click on Save Settings. This will be the main language of the template that you translate from.

Step 3: From the Template Manager tab of Specification Manager, select Edit Template from your template options menu. 

Step 4: Click on the translations button at the top of the page and select Add New Language. A pop-up window will open for you to select your language, pick the language from the dropdown and click on Next.

Step 5: A page will open with your field names and a textbox to complete the translation; this can be filled in manually or you can use the Translate button.  If you use the translate button, you can still manually edit the translations where required. 

*Clicking on Translate after you have manually filled in translations will overwrite what has already been filled in.*

Step 6: Once you have filled in the translations, click on Save to complete adding on the translation.

Step 7: After you have added on a translation, it will show under the Translations button for you to edit and update as required. Also, every time new fields/sections are added into the form, the translate page will open automatically for you to add the relevant translations.

Once you have set up your translation, if a user has that language set as their default locale in their user profile settings, the specification will display in that language.

The same setup can be completed for the other linked specification forms - confirmation, risk assessment, vulnerability and raw material breakdown.
