Translating Analytic Applications

The translation feature enables you to translate and switch the languages of user-defined strings in an analytic application.

Context

Translation is used in both stories and analytic applications. Only the strings specific for the analytics designer are listed here.

  • Text in a button, dropdown, checkbox group or radio button group

  • Tooltip in a button or dropdown

  • Label Text in a checkbox group or radio button group

  • Display Hint of an input field

  • Dialog Title and Button Text of a popup

  • Description of an analytic application

Note

As the values of widgets such as values in a dropdown box can be used as reference keys in scripts, they are not available for translation.

Procedure

  1. Enable an analytic application for translation.
    1. From the Main Menu, select Start of the navigation path Browse Next navigation step  FilesEnd of the navigation path.
    2. Open the analytic application you want to translate.
    3. Click the (Edit Analytic Application) button and choose Analytic Application Details.
    4. Turn on Mark for translation.
    5. Click OK.
    Note

    The Data Access Language you set up in the Profile Settings the moment you enable translation for an application becomes the source language of new widgets. After you finish translating the text and switch the software to other language via the Data Access Language, the application can only be opened in the view mode.

    Note

    If you disable Mark for translation for an analytic application that has been enabled for translation, all the relevant translations will be removed accordingly from the translation dashboard.

  2. Check the content to be translated.

    After enabling translation for an analytic application, the application will be listed in the translation dashboard. For more detailed information, see Translator Role and Translation Dashboard.

  3. Translate the strings in either of the two ways:

    • Translate in batch with the help of XLIFF files. You can start translating this application by exporting strings as XLIFF file and then importing the translated XLIFF file. For more information, refer to Importing XLIFF Files and Exporting XLIFF Files.

    • Ad-hoc inline translation in the translation dashboard. You can also directly translate strings in the translation dashboard. For more information, see Editing Translated Text.

  4. Manage or delete your translations.

    After you complete the translation, you can further manage the translated content or delete a particular language translation. For more information, refer to Managing Translations and Deleting Translations.

    Note

    If you delete an analytic application, the relevant translations will still exist in the translation dashboard until the analytic application is permanently deleted from Deleted Files.
