2.4.3 What can be Multilingual?

Once the partition multilingual attributes have been specified, the multilingual object definitions can be added.  Multilingual definitions are supported for any object in LANSA that has a description.

A multilingual definition means that the object description can be entered for each language.

It is important not to confuse multilingual definitions with data. A file may have its description in more than one language. For example, a field like Department description would have the following definitions:

          

 German

Abteillungs-Bezeichnung

 

 French

Description Departement

 

 English

Department Description

 

The appropriate multilingual description will appear on the data entry panel for a German, French and English user. The actual data entered into the file will be based on the user's input.  Data is not translated by LANSA.
