Understanding Suggestions

JD Edwards Translation Tools ensure consistency and save time by enabling you to use items that have already been translated. When JD Edwards Translation Tools finds a previously translated item, it automatically completes the Target field so that you can use the suggestion and immediately go to the next untranslated item.

Alternatively, you can search for translated items manually. When using suggestions, you should consider whether you want to retrieve suggestions manually or let the system retrieve them automatically, and whether you want to save the translations as suggestions.

The suggestions data field, located in the lower right of the translation tool forms, contains these entries:

  • None.

    No appropriate translations exist for this source term.

  • Exists (Loaded).

    The data field contains a lightning bolt button, which indicates that a suggested translation is available for this source term. When you click the button, the Suggestion -Search & Select form appears. You then can search for the most appropriate translation for the source term.

  • More Exists.

    The data field contains a lightning bolt button, which indicates that more than one suggested translation is available for this source term. When you click the button, the Suggestion -Search & Select form appears. You then can search for the most appropriate translation for the source term.

  • DD Default.

    The data field contains a light bulb button, which indicates that appropriate translations are available for this source term. When you click the button, the Data Dictionary Translation form appears.

  • Not checked.

    Based on the status of the term, the system did not search the database for any suggested translations.

You can use the Suggestions form in any of the JD Edwards Translation Tools except:

  • F83100: FASTR Date Title.

  • F83100: FASTR Column Headings.

  • F91100: Favorites Relationships and Properties.

You also can access it directly From the Translation Applications menu (GH791) by choosing either Senior Translations or Junior Translations, depending on the role, and then choosing Suggestions from the Form menu.
