Localized Text Designer

Top  Previous  Next

The Localized Text Designer is where you localize displayed text labels for fields in AyaNova.

 

For example, you may localize a text field to have what is presently “Unit” to display as “Bus” if your service organization only services buses for clients. Or your may even localize all text fields to a language other than English.

 

AyaNova includes four sample localizations with English as the default selected in each sample user entry screen. The sample locales are English, French, German and Spanish.

 

Where selected:

 

Select the locale in the user entry screen for the field Default Locale

Locale1

 

Select and edit the locale in Global Settings within the Administration navigation pane

Locale3

 

NOTE:The locale selected in the user's entry screen overrides the locale selected in Global Settings.

 

NOTE: A change in locale does not take effect until the user has completely exited and than next logs in. This is because localized text for labels is loaded only when the user newly logs in.

 

 

How to create a new locale:

 

In the Localized Text Designer grid, select the menu option New..., select the existing locale you want to base your new on, enter your new locale name, select OK, and than edit your locale's text as you want.

How to export a locale to a file for use by some one else's AyaNova database:
