User Defined Code Translation Tools

User Defined Codes (UDCs) are stored in tables that contain at least one item and can hold an unlimited number of items. The User Defined Code (UDC) translation tool displays all items in a table at once in order for you to view them in context.

You translate all User Defined Codes (UDCs) from JD Edwards UDC translation tools. In addition to translating items, you can retrieve and use existing translations, check spelling, change the status of an item, save translated items, search for and replace target text, and view glossary definitions.

You use two tools to translate UDCs. You select which tool to use based on what you want to translate. The function of each tool is as follows:

• F0004: User Defined Code (UDC) Types

  Use this tool if you are translating only UDC Types. UDC Types are the actual code table titles.

• F0005: User Defined Codes (UDC)

  Use this tool if you are translating only the UDC Codes or want to see all untranslated UDC items. This tool displays all the UDC Codes as well as the associated UDC Types, regardless of their translation status.

Both of these tools function similarly. However, if you decide to start translating using the F0005: User Defined Codes (UDC) tool, you must use the F0004: User Defined Code (UDC) Types tool to verify that you have translated all UDC Types. You must do this because the UDC Code tool does not display any untranslated code types if no untranslated UDC Codes exist. Both of the UDC translation tools consist of the Work With User Defined Code Type Language Translation form and the User Defined Codes Translation form.
