Localization

Requirements

  • To view the Localization page: READ permission for permission type “Application management”

  • To add/update/delete localization identifiers: ADMIN permission for permission type “Application management”

  • Your user must have a role with READ permission for the permission type “Application management”. See Managing permissions for more information.

  • Your tenant must have the Public-options application installed, see details below.

To use the localization feature

Since the localization feature uses dynamically fetched application options, your tenant must have the Public-options application installed. Install the Public-options application manually or, as a workaround, apply the branding setting which installs the Public-options application behind the scenes.

For details on how to manually install the Public-options application, see Branding and language customization.

To apply the branding setting

To apply the branding setting, you must first subscribe to the Branding feature in the Enterprise tenant .

Complete the setup in the Administration application following the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Branding.
  2. Click Apply.
  3. Navigate to Ecosystem > Applications to verify that the Public-options application is installed correctly.
Info
You must have administrator access to the tenant to install the Public-options application.

Localization

To open the Localization page, navigate to Configuration > Localization.

If you want to add translations for the created asset properties or asset models, or if you want to add custom translations for the existing static text in the DTM application, use the Localization feature.

Main view localization page

Once you create an asset property or an asset model, their names are added automatically under Identifier in the Localization page. You can further add the translations as required.

Info

Note that if an asset property or asset model is present, the corresponding entry on the Localization page cannot be deleted. However, if no translation exists for the asset property or asset model, deleting the asset property or asset model will automatically remove the corresponding entry.

On the other hand, if a translation exists for the asset property or asset model, deleting it will not automatically remove the corresponding entry. In such cases, a delete option will be available for that specific translation, allowing you to manually delete the entry.

To add a new translation in the DTM application, you can add the text as key and add the translations as required.

Click Apply to apply the changes.

To add new identifier for translations

Add a new identifier and their respective translations using the Add translation option on the top right.

Fill all the mandatory fields in the Add translations dialog and click Save. The new key is saved including the added translations.

Next, click Apply to apply the changes.

or:
