Translation mode

Throughout every application within the Hornbill user interface, you are presented with forms containing text to describe labels, messages, hints, and more. The Hornbill environment provides an in-app ability to translate this text so you can make sure the translation is in context with how it is being used.

Rights and roles

A role called Translator is provided to allow selected users to be assigned the right to configure in-app translations.

To assign a user the Translator role:

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Platform Configuration > Roles.
  2. In the Search field, search for tran and then in the Roles list, click Translator.
  3. Go to the Assigned Users tab, then click Add Users.
  4. In the User field, search for a user and click Save.

Start Translation Mode

A user that has been assigned the Translator role will have an option within their Profile toolbar (at the top right).

Start Translation Mode

Translations can serve two purposes:

  • To provide an alternative translation to the English text that has been provided by default.
  • To translate the default text to another language that you wish to provide for users.

Translate UI

Once translation mode is enabled, each string that allows for a translation to be applied is presented with a green underline.

Translate Mode Underline

To translate a UI string:

  1. In the Profile toolbar, click Start Translation Mode. (If instead, you see Stop Translation Mode, then you are already in translation mode.)

  2. In the Hornbill UI, find a string that you want to translate and right-click on it.

  3. In the Translate dialog, add your translation and then click Save. The options available to you are the following:

    • From. Shows the current value for the string.
    • To. Lets you manually enter a new value for the string.
    • In. Lets you select an alternative language to translate this string into.
    • Reset. Returns the string’s translation to its original default value.
    • Suggest Translation. Performs a Google Translate to automatically populate the To box.

Once you have saved the translation, and it will be visible to everyone using that language.

Note

Under some circumstances, a string may not be presented with a green underline. In the majority of cases, these strings can still be translated in the User Interface Translations.
