Translation of class names based on "language" property on metadata card

peterw
Hi

Is it possible to translate document class names based on a 'Language'-property on the metadata card?

Example:
Our class names are all written in German (i.e. Pr?sentation)  --  which stands for presentation in German
We want the class name to be translated whenever the value list item 'English' is selected in the metadata card

I tried this using Metadata Card Configuration, but it did not work (maybe the object name is a simple concatenation of properties?).

Thanks for your feedback.

Cheers

  • Maybe I wasn't very clear about what my intention is :)

    Ok, using code is another possibility. the issue here is, that we're using the (concat) name property for many document classes (always [Class] - [Name of document]).

    Do you know by memory if the translation values are accesible via code?

    Also, I think this could be a possible improvement request - I would assume when switching to another language, also the document title including the translated class values change...
