Configuring Translation Files for Non-Standard Languages

-
Select the Enterprise, click Setup, and then click Languages.
-
Create a custom language record by clicking the Add icon on the toolbar. Click OK to save the custom language record.
-
Click the General tab and set the language abbreviation in the Text File Name field. Refer to this site and find the appropriate language abbreviation in the ISO 639–1 column.
-
Click the Translation tab and select the desired Text File Type.

In the Translated Text column of the Text Elements section, manually translate each text element listed in the desired language. For example, if the non-standard language is Czech, manually translate each text element to its Czech equivalent.
-
After translating each text element, click Export to a File in the Text File section. The custom text file name is automatically generated from the text in the Text File Name field of the General tab. For example, when setting up a translation file for OPS Text in Czech, the file name displays as OpsText_cz.xml if the abbreviation was set to cz.
-
Navigate to the appropriate text file type folder, click Save, and then click OK.
-
The non-standard language translation file is now available for use when adding and importing in the Text Files tab.
