Notification objects can be translated using the User Defined Objects Language Translations (P9860WD) application. This tool provides for UDO object translation as well as UDO content translation.

For more information on using this tool to create translation records for UDOs, see "Translations" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Using and Approving User Defined Objects Guide.

There are six fields within a notification that can be translated:

  • Name

  • Description

  • Inputs (multiple)

  • Message Subject

  • Message Body

  • Shortcut Link Text (notification list only - this is not translated for Work Center or external emails)

There is a 200-character limit on translated text for each field.

If a field in the notification is defined using variables, with the ${variable} notation, the translator does not translate those variables. It will translate surrounding text, but the variable and surrounding notation must stay the same.

You can see the translated values in a notification in two places:

  • Subscription Manager. If there is a translation record defined in the subscriber's language, the subscriber will see the translated values in EnterpriseOne Subscription Manager.

  • Received Notification (in Work Center, email, or Notification List). If there is a translation record defined in the subscriber's language, the resulting notification is in the subscriber's language. Also, if the subscriber receives a notification failure message, the error details are in the subscriber's language.

Note: Text for a Data Dictionary item is sent in the language of the user that ran the notification, which may not be the subscriber's language, if the following conditions are met:
  • A Data Dictionary item is used within the message.

  • The subscriber indicated an email address as the delivery method when defining their subscription in Subscription Manager.
