The Queries page enables you to translate query descriptions, heading labels, and query prompt descriptions into a specific target language.

To translate queries using the Translate Query utility:

  1. Select PeopleTools, and then Translations, and then Translate System Definition, and then Translate Queries. The Translate Query page appears.

  2. In the Target Language drop-down list, select the language into which to translate the query descriptions and labels.

  3. In the Query Name field, select a query.

    See Searching the Object Definitions Alphabetically for tips to search for a queries.

  4. Click the Get Query button to bring the query descriptions into the query list.

    A set of query descriptions appears in the field Query List based on the value that you entered in the Query Name field.

  5. Translate the base language descriptions into the target language.

    The base language descriptions appear on the left; enter the translations in the fields on the right.

  6. Translate query field headings and prompt names.

    Click the Show Item Details button to display the Query Headings page.

    By default, field headings in queries are derived from RFT Long or RFT Short field descriptions, which means that they are automatically language-sensitive (provided that the field descriptions have been translated). Query prompt names are similarly derived from the prompt table description. The Query Headings page appears any field heading labels and prompt descriptions that are not derived from field or table descriptions, that is, descriptions that have override text in the query definition.

    Translate the description text for the field headings and prompt descriptions in the fields, and then click OK to accept the change and return to the Translate Query page.

  7. Click the Save button.
