In some places in the Portal you can find texts for user guidance, for example, on the Company page under My Account:
These texts are stored in the database table M_UI_GUIDANCE_TEXTS. If you want to show instructions in the Portal in another language when user logs in with this language, you can use the HelpTranslation tool to translate these texts. You can find this tool in the ..\tools\bin folder on the Portal application server. To enable the tool to connect to your database, edit the HelpTranslation.exe.config, which is also located in the ..\tools\bin folder. Edit the connectstring as shown in the example below.
<connectionStrings>
<add connectionString="Data Source=database.WORLD;User Id=m_service;Password=m_service;" name="ConnectionString"></add>
</connectionStrings>
Double-click HelpTranslation.exe to launch the translation tool.
To translate a text, proceed as follows:
-
Select the guidance text code in the left box.
The corresponding english text appears in the next box.
Use the Font Styling buttons to resize the displayed text.
-
Click Add.
-
Select a language and click Add.
-
Type the translated text in the right text box.
-
Alternatively, click Replace to replace the text in the right box with the original english text, and edit this text.
-
Click Save.
To delete a translated text, select the language in the rightmost box and click Remove.
