Enabling attributes for multiple languages

You can enable attributes for multiple languages.

About this task

You use the Database Configuration application to create language objects.

Most of the system attributes do not support multiple languages. For example, description fields in ITEM and COMPANIES support multiple languages, while description fields in transaction applications, such as WO, PO, PR, RFQ, and INVOICE, do not. The language tables are empty until you populate them with data. You can export and import all translatable strings through XLIFF files.

Procedure

  1. In the Database Configuration application, select the attribute that you want to enable for multiple languages.
  2. From the Attributes tab, check that Multilanguage Supported is selected.
  3. Select the Multilanguage in Use check box to identify the attributes that you want to enable for multiple languages.
  4. Configure the database.
