Example

A Space Manager of a hospital network with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland defines an enumeration field: "Pression ambiante," which is the French version for "Room Pressure." Switzerland has three official languages: French, German, Italian. The System Administrator must translate this field title to German (Raumdruck) and Italian (Pressione della stanza). Likewise, the values for the enumerated list, which in French is Negative;Positive, must also be translated to German (Negativer;Positiver) and Italian (Negativa,Positiva).

In this case, the localization coordinator follows this procedure to translate this new field:

1. Load the System / System / Add-In Manager / View Archibus Translation Dictionary view to look up user-defined fields that may need translation:
   • Use the Smart Search Console to filter for the Archibus Table = ‘rm’ and click on the record defining the rm table.

   • In the Archibus Language Translations panel's Smart Search Console, type e "udf" in the Field Name; this finds all user-defined fields.

2. Locate the “Pression ambiante” field and click on the Edit button next to it.
3. Archibus displays the Archibus Fields Language Translations edit form. For the Room Pressure field, enter the translations in German and Italian for the Field Title and Enum List . The fields in which to enter the translations in German and Italian are:
   • ML Heading (German)
   • Enum List (German)
   • ML Heading (Italian)
   • Enum List (Italian)
4. Restart the application server. The translations are now available in the Define Rooms form and in the Space Console - Room tab when you sign in with a German or Italian locale.
