Language Translation Tool

This tool will allow you to translate certain phrases within your edays system for the different languages you have enabled.


To access the Language Translation tool you must have administrator permissions and can be accessed via the Admin Panel > Global > Language translation



You will be able to select the Language in the list from the options you have available. Select the language you would like to review and click Search:




Which translation will I see?


In English:

If a phrase has been overridden within the system, you will see the translated phrase from the Language Translation page.

If there is no override, then you will see the original full English phrase.

 

In other languages:

If a phrase has been overridden within the system, you will see the translated phrase from the Language Translation page, for that language.


Editing existing phrases


To edit existing phrases, click the Edit button next to the phrase you would like to change and amend the text under the Translation column. Click Save once completed.


Adding new phrases


Select + Add new and add in the English text and the required translation. Click Save.

Please pay attention to capitalisation when adding new phrases.


Please note not all phrases can be amended in the system.


Absence types


These are customisable fields which can be translated on the front end. E.g. if you have an absence type called "Unpaid Leave (Korea)", you can make this use the Korean name where it appears in the booking form. This precise phrase does not exist in the global dictionary, so you can create a custom phrase for this client.


Go to Admin Panel > Global > Language Translation and add a new phrase for Korean, with English word exactly the same as the absence type name (including capitalisation), and translate it as appropriate.


Please note this will not update instantly and make take a few days to appear in your system, due to quality control.


Groups


Groups are another field which can be customised by language, e.g. "Sales" team. This is observed in front end places such as the group calendar.
