The custom translation Custom Translation feature in WorkBook allows you to customise the terminology used in WorkBook to meet your specific business or language requirements. You can also update the language layer lookup table, export translation tables, and import translations from external sources.
Custom translations can be performed in the settings Settings module and are usually managed by designated role(s) or person(s) within each agency.
To use the custom translations, you must need to have access to settings as defined in the user access rights submodule under settings. Settings that is set up under Employee Cross-Company Access, and is an advanced user with the appropriate access rights. Please contact your WorkBook administrator if you can’t see this menu.
System Administrator has access to this menu by default.

NUMBER | FUNCTIONALITY |
1 | The update language layer lookup table with custom translations button updates the language layer you have selected with the custom translations you have made |
2 | The export chosen custom translation table button allows you to export your chosen table selected Language out of WorkBook and import to another WorkBook system. (e.g. export language from Test to Production system). Once exported, WorkBook will generate a unique ID that can be used to import into the other system. Refer to the next menu on how to import language.  This ID can’t be retrieved again once the dialog is closed. You will need to generate a new ID instead. |
3 | The import translations from an external source button allows you to import translations from another WorkBook system such as a test environment. A pop-up window will be shown when clicking on this button allowing you to enter the unique ID that is generated from the source system (refer to the export functionality above)  |
4 | The language field allows you to select the system language that you wish to translate. The drop down contains a list of the default languages in WorkBook. However, you can add more via settings > global settings > languages. Please refer to the article: /wiki/spaces/TGKB/pages/1336180751 If attempting custom translations, it is important to know what language your system is your system default. |
