How to translate Tools?

Modified on Fri, 11 Oct at 12:22 PM

To translate the tools:

1. Go to Configuration >> Tools

2. Here you have the possibility to translate:

  • Extra fields
  • Tool categories
  • Inspection types

3. The principle for translating those, work exactly the same as for the forms and any other module. Thus, using the translator pop-up. To translate one of the mentioned aspects, click on the button"Translations"


4. The translation pop-up will open. There you will see:

  • The preferred languages that you should have configured in the general configurations. Each language shows a progress bar with percentages.
    • Red --> if you still have missing translations
    • Green --> when you have completed all translations for a language
  • The fields in the original language to be translated on the left side
  • The placeholder fields for translations on the right side
  • Auto translate buttons on the right side


5. To translate the fields you have 2 options: manual and automatic.

  • To manually translate, simply type the translation in the placeholder field and notice that the fields edges become green.
  • To translate automatically click on the button "Auto Translate". You can either auto translate a field or translate all at once.
     

6. Note that when you translate a fields "Location" for example, the translation gets added to the Qooling repository and this word is now translated in every place where the custom field "Location" finds itself. Thus, if you have another form where you use "Location", then here it will automatically be translated, without having to do this again every time.


7. To ensure that you added all the translations, toggle between filters all and missing in the top right corner. Also notice that when you complete all translation, the aimed language progress bar turns green. In our case, this is Portuguese.


8. When you finish, click on "Save" in the bottom right corner.

9. Now close the pop-ups and change the preferred and default language of your user profile to desired language (in our case Portuguese). Click on your name in the top left corner and go to settings tab.


10. Refresh and go to the tools module. Try to create a tool category that you translated. If your preferred and default languages are set correctly, you should be able to see the details in a different language. Check if it works for inspection types that you translated as well.
