Localizing the Name and Description for an Object
You can localize
object names and descriptions, so that users see the names and descriptions
in their chosen language. For example, if you have an object called
"Engineering," you could add "Ingénierie" as the localized entry for
French. A user viewing the French user interface would see the Ingénierie
as the object name, as well as any other names and descriptions localized
into French.
Note:
- You can localize names and
descriptions into only the languages supported by the portal.
- You cannot localize names
and descriptions for users.
- You can localize the names and descriptions for all objects at
the same time using the Localization Manager.
- Open the object's editor by
creating a new object or editing an existing object.
- Select Supports Localized Names.
The Localized Names and Descriptions section appears.
- Add or edit
the localized names and descriptions:
- To add an
entry for a language, click
New Localized Name, then, in the Name and Description dialog box, enter the localized
name and/or description, select the appropriate language, and click Finish.
- To edit an
existing entry, click the entry you want to change, then, in the Name
and Description dialog box, edit the entry as necessary, and click Finish.
To remove
existing entries, select the entries you want to remove and click 
.
To select or clear all
entries, select or clear the check box to the left of Name.
