Translating Label Expressions

You can translate labels, including form headers, using the Local function. The localization tool finds the fields marked Is Localizable and matches them with their corresponding localized values.

The following section describes how to translate a label expression on the incident form.

Translating the Estimated Cost Label Expression on the Incident Form

1. Within the Configuration Console, choose Business Objects > Incident.
2. From the Forms tab, choose an incident form with the cost label expression. For example, choose IncidentDetails.HelpDesk.Resolution.
3. Select the label expression field for cost, then under the Control Properties tab, change the label expression from

$((("Estimated Cost (" + CurrentGlobalCurrency()) + ") :"))

to

$((((local("Estimated Cost") + " (") + CurrentGlobalCurrency()) + ") :"))

4. Click Save.
