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

  • Hi Peter,

    Sorry, now it is me being unclear :)

    What I meant was that you could have a number of "Document title" properties (German, English, French, etc.), all populated via server-side script (each using the correct translation from the above JSON). You could then use this functionality to make the correct one appear for each user, depending on their UI language.

    I thought this approach may be more suitable than directly using the JSON and creating the document title based on the language selected on the dropdown, as that way you have titles in all languages rather than just the single translated version that the submitting user selected.

    Regards,

    Craig.
