Use the Translation Dictionary form to manage all the text translations for the application. 

The Translation Dictionary is a central library where you define translations for any text, such as an element, label, menu item, or sentence. 

You can have more than one dictionary. The columns include:

  • Dictionary name: The overall library or collection of terms and their translations for the application.
  • Target language: The specific language into which a term is translated, such as fr for French or de for German.
  • Term: The original word or phrase in the base language that needs to be translated into other languages.
  • Translation: The equivalent of the original term, but in the target language.
