Identity Manager 8.1 - Configuration Guide

Using the text memory for translation

Translations, which occur frequently or cannot be associated with a particular database column, can be stored in text memory (table QBMTranslationAddOnSource). The Web Portal, for example, takes its translations from the text store. In the same way, output text from database triggers is found in the text store. You can reference the text store as a translation source.

The text store is also used as a fallback when a fitting translation cannot be found through other translation sources.

To enter an item in the text store

1. In Designer, select Base Data | Localization | Translatable texts.
2. Select Object | New and enter the translation key.
3. In Language Editor, translate the entries for QBMTranslationAddOnSource.Entrykey.
