Viewing locale-specific translations in a layout

Every layout supports all locales. You do not need to create a unique layout for every form and locale in the study. Use the Locales drop-down list on the toolbar in the Layout tab to switch between locales and provide translations.

Note: Layouts that you created in release 1.2 display text in the locale for which the layout was created.

When you select a locale other than the default locale for a study, the locale name appears above the work area, and all captions and questions appear in the language for the locale. If the values are not translated for the locale, the text for the primary locale appears in red.

1. In the Project Explorer, select the Forms and Transactions Explorer bar.

   or

   In the Project Explorer, select the Items Explorer bar.

2. Select a form or item, and select the Layout tab.
3. On the toolbar, select Layout, and then select the locale to view.

   The locale appears, along with all locale-specific text strings.

Note: Text that you modify is saved for the selected locale only. For example, you can modify captions, notes, and section titles, and the values are saved for the locale.
