# Application Translation

NoteFor out-of-the-box translation services: All translations are performed using machine-based translation services and are provided “as is.” Translated text may not be an exact translation or representative of natural written or spoken language. No warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, is made as to the accuracy, reliability, or correctness of any translations. 

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Application Translation**

*03. Admin User Manual › VISDOM & Risk Management › Application Translation*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

Contract Insight can be displayed in languages other than English. Each user picks a **Display language** from their profile menu, and administrators use **Administration → Translations** to set or correct the wording of **field labels** and **top menu** items for each language. Anyone using that language sees the wording entered there instead of the English. Administrators can also add languages, or switch a language off so it no longer appears in everyone's language picker. Record data always stays in the language it was entered in.

# 2. Key Elements

- **Translations** page: choose a **Language**, an **Area** (**Field labels** or **Top menu**), and, for field labels, a **Table** (for example, Contract Details, Vendors/Customers, or any custom sub-table).
- Each row shows the **Source (English)** text with editable **Translation** and **Tooltip** boxes. An untranslated row shows the English text greyed out in the Translation box.
- A **Filter…** box narrows the rows, and a counter shows the number of items and unsaved changes (for example, “177 items · 0 unsaved”). Changes are kept only after you click **Save changes**.
- **Manage languages** opens the **Languages** panel, which lists each language's **Status** (for example, **Offered**) and how many **People using it**, with **Edit** and **+ Add language** actions.
- **Change language** in each user's profile menu opens the **Display language** picker.
- Text in the Core System and Vendor Client Gateway can also be controlled by the Regional Setting for the Employee or Company Contact.

# 3. Navigating to Translations

1. From the Contract Insight homepage, click the **Administration** (settings) icon at the bottom of the left navigation bar.
2. Type *Translations* in the **Search administration…** box, or find it under **Configuration & Fields**.
3. Click **Translations**.

The Translations page opens with no language selected. Choose a **Language**, **Area**, and **Table** to begin, or click **Manage languages** to add or switch off languages (see Section 6).

# 4. Translating Field Labels

1. Navigate to **Administration → Translations** (see Section 3).
2. Select the **Language** to translate into (for example, **Spanish**).
3. Leave **Area** set to **Field labels**.
4. Select the **Table** whose labels you want to edit (for example, **Contract Details**).
5. Optional: type in the **Filter…** box to find a specific field.
6. In the field's row, enter the wording in the **Translation** box. Enter help text in the **Tooltip** box if needed.
7. Click **Save changes**. The counter above the table shows how many changes are still unsaved.

**Note:** Use the **delete** (trash) icon at the start of a row to remove that row's translation.

# 5. Translating Top Menu Items

1. On the Translations page, select the **Language**.
2. Set **Area** to **Top menu**. The **Table** selector is hidden because menu items aren't tied to a table.
3. Type in the **Filter…** box to find the menu item (the list can contain over a thousand items).
4. Enter the wording in the **Translation** box. Untranslated items show the English text greyed out.
5. Click **Save changes**.

# 6. Managing Languages

## 6a. Reviewing Languages

1. On the Translations page, click **Manage languages**.
2. The **Languages** panel lists every language with its **Status** and the number of **People using it**. Use **Search** to find a language.
3. Click **Edit** on a language's row to change it, or to switch it off so it is taken out of everyone's language picker. Wording you've already entered is kept either way.

## 6b. Adding a Language

1. In the **Languages** panel, click **+ Add language**.
2. Enter the language **Name** and, optionally, a **Description** for whoever maintains the list.
3. Leave **Offer this language** on so people can choose it, or turn it off to hide it from the language picker.
4. Click **Save**, or **Cancel** to close without adding.

![Add language window with Name, Description, Offer this language, Cancel, and Save highlighted](https://cdn.document360.io/e3626857-1fb5-4e27-b278-2d3fc5508be4/Images/Documentation/apptr-06-add-language.png)

The new language then appears in the **Language** selector on the Translations page so you can start translating into it (Sections 4–5).

# 7. Changing Your Display Language

1. From any page, click your name in the top-right corner to open the profile menu.
2. Click **Change language**.

![Profile menu with Change language highlighted](https://cdn.document360.io/e3626857-1fb5-4e27-b278-2d3fc5508be4/Images/Documentation/apptr-07-profile-menu.png)

1. In the **Display language** window, type in **Filter languages** or scroll to find a language. Your current language is marked **Current**.
2. Select a language and click **Apply**. Click **Cancel** to keep your current language.

**Note:** Changing the display language changes the application's labels and menus only. Record data stays in the language it was entered in.
