Translating Grid Items

Grid items are the column headings that appear in the detail area of JD Edwards forms. Each grid item can contain multiple words. Two lines are allocated to each grid item (Column 1 and Column 2). When you select an item, two translation fields appear in the common area.

When you select a grid item, the Space Used field displays the amount of space used for both the top and bottom translation fields.

To translate grid items:

1. From the Translation Applications menu (GH791), select either Senior Translations or Junior Translations, depending on whether you are a senior or junior translator, and then F79750: Form Design Aid (FDA).

2. On Work with Form Design Aid Text, complete these fields and click Find:

   • Product Code

   • Status

   • Language

   • Status Details

     This option enables you to see all the details for the items in the detail area. To return to a summarized view, clear this option.

3. Select an item in the detail area and click Select.

4. On the View tab, click a grid item in the menu tree.

5. Translate the item in the Target field.

6. Click OK.

   When you select OK, the system saves the translation, updates the status, and displays the next item of the chosen status in the Source data field.

   When you select Save, the system saves the translation and updates the status, but does not move on to the next item in the list.
