Multilingual captions

Open the Multilingual captions dialog using Captions.

Use the Multilingual captions dialog to add, edit, or delete captions in multiple languages. You can use this text later in your API or web application.

Before adding or editing multilingual captions, define objects in your project that output captions in your API. You create keys for these objects. You assign a text to the keys for each language. This means that the keys are translated into the different languages you wish to use.

You can create and edit keys and translations on the Captions tab in the Multilingual captions dialog The following table gives an overview of the various features within the Multilingual captions dialog.
