Edit the Language Enum Table

From the Edit Language Enum Table task, you can edit the lang_enum table. This table has the list of enumerated values and translatable values. See Localization Tables.

From this view, you can:

  • View mistranslated enumerations
  • Restrict to show translated strings that are too long, that is, those that are greater than 500 characters in length.
  • Edit String translations.

This task view includes the Data Transfer Status field that helps you track the strings that have been read in. See About the Data Transfer Status Field.
