This page is for application builders who want to translate the labels and grid headings in their application.

An application can have one translation table. In the table, you can define many entry codes. Each entry code must exactly match a text string that appears as a form label or grid header. For each entry code, you can define multiple translation cells, which define the translated string and its language. You define one translation cell for each language into which you want to translate the string.

When a user opens an application, PhixFlow uses their Locale setting to determine the language they require. If a translation is present for that language, PhixFlow will display the translation. PhixFlow can also change the date-time format.

For more information about how to configure translation, see Translating an Application Interface.

FieldDescription
Entry Code

Enter the text string that you want to translate. This must exactly match the text string in the application interface, including capitalisation, spacing and punctuation. You can create entry codes for:

  • the grid headers
  • form labels

The entry code must not be the attribute name. For example if an attribute is BizID, but in a grid the header label is Business Name, then the entry code must also be Business Name.
