UOM Literals Button

When translating UOM for different languages, the symbols displayed can vary from one language to another. To accommodate these variations, UOM attributes are now translated and you can now view UOMs per their selected default language. This will help with ease of use because you can make UI names specific to your language.

The following languages are supported:

Language Code
繁體中文 (traditional Chinese)
Francais (French)
Deutsch (German)
Italiano (Italian)
日本語 (Japanese)
한국어 (Korean)
Polskie (Polish)
Pусский (Russian)

Türkçe (Turkish)
简体中文 (simplified Chinese)

English
Português (Portuguese)
Español (Spanish)
Hrvatski (Croation)
Čeština (Czech)
Slovenčina (Slovak)
Українська (Ukranian)
Nederlands (Dutch)
Suomi (Finnish)

From the UOM UI, click the UOM Literals button to add a literal. The UOM Literals button includes the following details:

  • The UOM literals button is available only when a UOM is selected

  • UOM Code
  • Language Code
  • Translated UOM Code
  • Translated UOM description
  • Create User
