Add and Translate

The Add & Translate option in the Translation Entries page allows you to create a new entity and a translation entry for that entity at the same time. For example, if the data source sends information regarding a new customer for whom no contract party has been defined, you can add the contract party information and create the necessary translation entry in one procedure.

When adding and translating, multiple entries may be selected at the same time, provided they have the same destination type. The only exceptions are time zone entries (only one can be selected at a time) and value entries, which cannot be selected.

None: This process can be automated using a Translation Script.

To add and translate

1. In the Translation Entries page, perform a search to display the translation entries in the search results area.
2. Select one or more translation entries and click Add & Translate. For example, if the destination type of the selected table entry is a contract party, the Contract Party Details page is displayed.

   Note: If the search results are displayed on multiple pages (as indicated by the page navigation links beneath the results), selections can be made on one page at a time only.

   Tip: Click to select all entries displayed on the current page, and to clear all selections.

3. Fill in the details for the new entity.

   If a single entry is being added and translated, the Name and Description fields for the new entity are automatically given default values (which may be modified), as follows:

   • The Name field contains the source field values separated by a +. For example, if you are adding a contract party, and the entry includes two fields (first name and last name), the Name field contains both names separated by +.
   • The Description field contains the following string: Created from translation entry. Entry added by [adapter] on [date/time].
   • If multiple entries are being added and translated, the Name and Description fields are automatically given default values taken from the source field values. (The fields themselves display the word Automatic). These default values cannot be changed.
4. Click Save & translate.
