Translating Service Catalog Variables

[jonbebb]

I am trying to configure snow for multiple languages and have installed the german plug in. When I view a Catalog item in either UI or ESS site the standard cat item field names are displayed in german but catalogue variables are not. Has anyone applied translation to catalog variables and can advise if further configuration is required

Many Thanks

Jon

Hi Christina,

We are using Macros as well in catalog variables so how we can translate it and where/what entries is require to achieve translation for macros.

Please help.

Hello Ashish

I haven't used UI Macros in catalog variables. But I'd suggest you translate the text directly in your UI Macro like this:

${gs.getMessage(keyname)}

The messages are under Localization --> Messages.

Best Regards

Thanks for info Christina.

I am a beginner in SNOW, so can you help me where I have to right this ${gs.getMessage(keyname)} code. As I can see in UI Macros where my macros listed and not found any area where I can add this code line. Also I visited Message table   and found same kind of info but unable to do it.

Please help.

Hello Ashish

Let's say you have a in your UI Macro a text like this:

<div>

<table>

<tr>

<td>Telephone:</td>

<td>${jvar_phone_number}</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

So you want to localize the string "Telephone:".

Go to System Localization --> Messages and create a new Message:

Afterwards you change the line into the following:
<td>${gs.getMessage('uimacro.telephone')}</td>

I hope that helps you.
