User Language Configuration Settings and Translated Text Display

Additional Windchill Capabilities > Service Information Management > Configuration Guide > Setting Up Translation > Using Translated Text Attributes > User Language Configuration Settings and Translated Text Display

When translated text attributes are added to attribute layouts and table views, the user language configuration settings determine which values to display for the translated text attributes:

• If the user language configuration matches a target language, then the translated text value is displayed.

• If the user language configuration matches a target language, but there is no translated text value present for the target language, the master text (the value of the source text attribute) is displayed.

• If the user language configuration matches the source language of the source text attribute, then the master text (the value of the source text attribute) is displayed.

• If the user language configuration does not match the source language of the source text attribute or any target language, then the translated text attribute displays the master text (the value of the source text attribute).

Administrators should communicate to the users how to set their user language configuration for optimal display of the translated text attribute content.
