The Data Dictionary Translation Process

Translating a data dictionary item is an iterative six-step process, as described here:

1. Select the data dictionary item that you want to translate.

2. Review both the data item components for context and the suggestions for appropriateness.

3. Enter the translation manually or copy existing translations.

4. Check the spelling.

5. Review space constraints.

6. Save the translation and start the process over again.

JD Edwards data dictionary translation tools use many of the same processes repeatedly.
