Review Page Text
Most page text is derived from language-sensitive field descriptions. Text derived from field descriptions is translated automatically when you clone the base language page definition (provided that the field descriptions have already been translated). However, page control definitions give you the option to override the field description with a text description.
If you use Translation Designer to translate pages, you can translate all such override text right along with labels that are derived from field descriptions. This feature of Translation Designer helps to ensure that the entire page gets translated.
PeopleSoft also provides a Page Text inquiry page that identifies override text in pages to help you identify areas where you may have missed translating. You can translate the override text in the target-language page definition in Application Designer.
To check for override text in pages:
-
Select . The Review Page Text page appears. The Review Page Text page lets you generate a list of all override text (that is, text that is not derived from field descriptions) in a set of page definitions.
-
In the Page Name field, select a set of page names.
See Searching the Object Definitions Alphabetically for tips to search for a page.
-
In the Target Language drop-down list, select the target language of the page set.
For example, if the Page Name field contains B, and the Target Language field contains French, the page set will consist of page definitions that begin with B and whose target language is French.
-
Click the Get Page Text button to display the overridden page text.
A set of page definitions appears based on the settings in the Page Name and Target Language fields.
For each page that appears in the list, the label text is the override text on the page. Looking at the label text, you can tell whether it has been translated. If it has not been translated, use Translation Designer to do the translation.
