Data Dictionary Items and the FDA Translation Tool

The data dictionary translations that you enter are the translations for their corresponding forms. Therefore, when you access a form in the FDA Translation Tool (P797501), the data dictionary translation appears as the field description unless the item has an override. The status for the form items in the FDA Translation Tool remains at a status of 20 (Untranslated) until you save the translation. When you save the translation, the item moves to a status of 15 (FDA/RDA DD Default).

When you edit a data dictionary translation, FDA items that are not overridden by a language are set to a status of 25 (Edit (Review)). You can view the list of language-overridden and non-overridden forms in the English Non-Overridden Forms box. When you access the affected forms in the Form Design Aid (FDA) Translation Tool, the edited translation appears in the Translation field.
