Information
-
In the PLANTA software there are
-
multilingual texts called I-texts. They are written in one language and can be translated into any another language supported by PLANTA.
-
In PLANTA Standard, elements of the user interface are I-texts, e.g. module names, data field names, menu item names, dialog messages etc.
-
The language in which the I-texts are displayed can be set individually for each user.
-
You can find out whether a particular data field is an I-text field by looking at the column type in the data field information (to be opened via CTRL+F1 on the hyperlink field or via ? → Data Field Information in the menu bar).
-
-
-
monolingual texts. They are always displayed in the language in which they were originally created. They cannot be translated and do not depend on the language of the PLANTA user.
-
Monolingual texts include, e.g., project data, portfolio data, etc., as well as a small number of listbox contents.

Details

PLANTA offers two options for translating
I-texts
-
from the source language environment
-
via the I-Text Translation Q1-Q3 modules.
-
The translation is database and I-text related and context-free.
-
-
from the target language environment
-
via the Module-Related Translation module.
-
The translation is done separately for each module and is largely context related.

Information
-
For the text displayed in PLANTA project, a reference to this text is entered in the I-Text column in the database instead of the actual text. The text itself is saved in another data table (I-text-table).
-
Every scheme has its own I-text table (e.g. in the case of the K[Lizenznummer] customer scheme it is DT150 I-text KDB).
-
In this table, I-texts are saved under specification of their reference (I-number) and language and are displayed on the surface at the respective position and in the respective language.
