Configuring Translations in Goal Management

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure translations in Goal Management

Translations in Manage Templates

Watch this video to learn how to configure translations for the Goal Plan template in Manage Templates. 

Note

Not all configuration options are supported in Manage Templates, so you might need to complete some configurations directly in the XML.

Translations in XML

The following translations can be completed in both Manage Templates and the Goal Plan XML template.

  • <obj-plan-name>. The name of the Goal Plan.
  • <text-replacement for="Instructions">. The instructional text that can be added in Manage Templates.
  • <category-name>. The category name label.
  • <field-label>. The label for goal plan fields.
  • <enum-label>. The label for the drop-down options in status or any other enum field type.
  • <column-label>. The column label for the table field types.

The following translations can only be completed from the Goal Plan XML template.

  • <text-replacement>. Any other options beyond the Instructions cannot be completed in Manage Templates, like the Category.
  • <field-description>. Description of the fields which do not display in the UI and are only relevant for the XML editor.
  • <table-row-label>. For table field only. this is different from the column-label, as this is used for add/edit/delete button/icon.
  • <column-description>. Description of the columns in the table fields which do not display in the UI and are only relevant for the XML editor.
  • <state-label>. The Goal Plan state label.
  • <action-label>. The target Goal Plan state visible to the role with change-state permission.

Configure Translations in XML

To translate labels for the Goal Plan XML template, complete the following steps:

Steps

  1. Copy the tag.

  2. Add the relevant language tag (for example, lang="de_DE" for German).

  3. Check all areas, including the goal plan name, categories, field labels, and so on.

Example

The XML template below shows language tags for field labels and field descriptions. 

Goal Library Import File

For translated libraries to show, you need to add the goal library ID to the XML in addition to the name. Although the US English library is automatically included with Goal Management, you may have to reload it to get the translated version to show correctly.

In this example, the Import/Export Goal Library tool shows several goal libraries in different languages. Each one of them share the same GUID, which means that they will all be available in the same Goal Plan and the end user will be able to create a goal from the library in their own language.

Localize a Goal Plan

Business Example

You have been asked to localize the goal plan from Manage Templates and XML. Your instance already includes the language pack Dutch (nl_NL), and the translated Goal Library in the same language.

Learn how to use translation functionality to change the language in a Goal Plan.
