9. Now you will check the boxes for the fields you would like to be translated into your chosen languages. In this section the number of records that will be translated for each field in your database is displayed.

 

Fields to select from are:

 

Description Line 1

Description Line 2

Class Name

Notes

 

Note: The information in these fields comes from the main entrée system. So when the information in entrée changes and is exported to entrée.NET you will need to run this translation process again for your selected languages to convert the new data.

 

10. Once your fields are selected you will run the translation process by clicking the net-AddTask-to-Translation-btn Add Task to Translation button.  

 

11. Once you click the Add Task to Translation button the Server answer message box will  be displayed.

12. Click OK to run the language translation process. Translating and loading the fields you have selected should take about 5 minutes or less depending on how much data must be translated.

 

13. While the language translation process is running look in the Translation Summary section of the screen and you will see that the value of the Last Updated field for the selected languages will be Pending.

The number of Descriptions, Classes and Notes that need to be translated will be shown in the Need to Translate area in red text.

 

14. Once the process has completed the Translation Summary section Translated area will show how many fields were successfully translated for each language in green text. The Last Updated field will display the date of the translation.

15. When the translation of your fields is done the Inventory’s descriptions available for the following languages section at the top of  the screen will list the languages available. In our example we have Chinese (Simplified) and Spanish. (see image above).
