How to change the lable of Form Sections

[farhad_hamedvar]

Hi,

Maybe just a simple question for experts: how can I change/translate the label of Form Sections on the User Form in a multi-language instance?

Thanks in advance,
Fahhad

In Eureka this worked, but I had to follow up by going to personalize form, selecting that section, then, without making any additional changes, save.   Only after I did that did my new caption show up.   TBD if that followup step is required after the update set application in the next environment,

Automatically, no. You'll need to provide the translations. I'm not familiar with doing it, but it looks like this is what you need:

Hi CapaJC,

Thanks for the link! It seems there is no hint for translation of section lables.

Hi Fahhad,
You mentioned change/translate the label of Form Section. I believe change and translation are 2 different actions.
for Change:
1. If you want to change the label of Form Section:
System UI > Form Sections. Then select the form section from the related list and change value in the 'Caption' field.
for 'change the existing translation'.
2. If you want to change the translated label of a Form section
System Localization > Translated Name / Fields. Then select the translation record based on table 'sys_ui_action' and elecment caption
For creating a new translation for a form section
3. Sytem Localization > Translated Name / Fields. Click on New and fill the fields as below and save.
Table: sys_ui_action
Element: caption
Language :
Label(Translate):
Value:

Hope this information helps.

Hi krishnakoneru,

The point 3 in your post might be the way to translate the section label when selecting another language for the instance.
I would do some tests to see whether it works and will get back to you.

Thanks
