Thanks to the team at OpenCubed, CoreBOS has the functionality to translate the labels from within the application.

This is especially important for custom fields because we cannot use special characters that are so important in many languages either in the labels or the picklist values. Due to that restriction, we have to use plain text and then translate the values. Before having this functionality that translation had to be done directly editing the language files, now the admin user can easily do the change without needing access to the files.

To access the translator you must log in as an admin user and go to the Module Manager. On the Custom Modules tab, we will find the language files and next to each one the hammer icon will take us to the translation screen.

 

 

The translator permits us to select from among the different modules and base language files to translate and shows us the full list of labels with their value in the base application language followed by the translation which you can modify accordingly.
