This would redirect you to the Translation Engine interface, where you can alter the text entries which appear in your website pages. The page is divided into two sections. As an Senior Admin you would be given the access to all the functions related to the Translation interface. Let's check out the same;

Note
The text entries must be set up as WebText in the source for the pages - anything hard coded will need to be changed in the Web Editor, or by your web people, or by INS. Please contact INS Support if you are having trouble identifying where the text entry you want to change might be stored.

Translate in English Language


English is the default language of the system. In order to translate text content in English language, start by clicking on the Update English Text button.

Image

The Translation Engine - Updating English interface will open up, which would provide you with the search engine with the following filters/functions;

  • Enter your search text: If you want to search for a single word or phrase, enter it in the text-box and then click on the Search button.
  • This would search for that particular word or phrase in the entire system and bring up the list of all the pages that contains the word.
  • This function is handy if you wish to change the word throughout the whole system. For example; replacing the term Member with Distributor.
  • This may bring up many results, so if you would like to search in a particular page, take note of the page and select it from the drop-list.

Image

  • Choose a URL: If you know the page URL and want to change the content in that particular page only, then select the option from the drop-list.
  • If it helps, you can get an idea of the page URL from the address bar of the browser. Open the system page and check it before searching.
  • Once selected, remember to click on the URL radio-button (Text by default) and then click on the Search button to bring up the results.

Image

Below the search engine, the search result will be displayed with the page URL, line number, text content and the editable versions. Locate the text content you want to change/update and then click on the Edit link corresponding to that line to bring up the text content in an editable format (text-area).

Image

Now edit the text in the box and then click on the Update Selected button (floating) at the bottom. Make sure that the corresponding Select box is checked (automatically gets selected after clicking on the Edit link). You can edit multiple lines at once, before saving, i.e. hitting on Update Selected.

Image


Search and Replace


If you are required to change just one word on that page (via URL search) or the system (via Text search), then simply type in the words in the blank text box in the Replace section, tick on the Select check-box for the corresponding lines (where the words appear) and hit Replace Selected.

  • Please note that the Search and Replace function is Case Sensitive. For example, replacing member with distributor is very much different from replacing Member with Distributor. In that case, you need to replace the same words appearing in capital and/or small letters.

Translate in Other Language


If not English, then choose the preferred option from the What language would you like to translate into? drop-list and then click on View List button.

Image

Note
The languages you may choose between here are controlled by the Translation > Enable Languages settings. The English language is the system language and cannot be disabled. If you do not find the language that you are looking for, then discuss with INS to make it available.

Next the list of all the pages for the chosen language will be displayed in the Display Results table along with number of lines the page contains and the option to edit. Click on the corresponding view details link (under View column) for the page that you want to translate (to get the full view of the page).

Above the Display Results list is the Search engine or URL pane. You can use these filters to narrow your search result as following. Once you you have selected the options, click on the Display button to start the process. The Display Results table will get refreshed with your recent criteria.

  • What language would you like to translate into? Select a different languages from the drop-down list. This lets you toggle between languages.

    • All records: Show all the pages available for this language, irrespective of fact that they are translated or not. Returns all the web-pages.
    • Translated: Returns only the pages that have been translated in the past. Each page holds the details of only the lines that are translated.
    • Not translated: Returns only the pages that have not been translated. Each page holds the details of only the lines that are not translated.
  • Choose a URL: You can search the page directly if you know the URL of that page. Select the option from the drop-list.
Note
This identifier shows as part of the URL you see in the address bar when displaying the page. If you are unsure what this is then try going to the page you want to translate text for and examining the URL shown in your web browser. It is a reference to the page name and location in your system directories on the server.

Once you click on the view details link, a new window will open up. Notice the Display Results table. It will show you the content of that page. The entire content is listed in separate line as it is designed in the WebText. In order to update the content, click on the Edit link corresponding to that line/row.

As an admin if have the privilege to approve the translation, then the Approve check-box would appear (checked by default). You can directly approve the text by checking on the Approve box. You can also edit multiple lines simultaneously. Once done, click on the Update Selected button below.

Image

Alternatively, you can also visit the Translation Approval page by clicking on the Go to approval page for this URL at the top of the Display Result table.

We would discus the translation approval process later in this manual. In the translation details page, above the Display Results notice the search engine. The section termed as Translation Engine - Translate contains the filters with the information auto-populated from previous step (as in the Translation main page), with an extra filed - Search English text to translate - via this filter you can search for a word/phrase in English language to translate.

Note
If the item you are looking for does not appear in the list, it is likely it is not set up as web-text on the page. This needs to be changed for it to appear here. Contact your webmaster or INS (either support via Skype or report a bug with clear notes ), if you are unsure how to achieve this.
