The 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 module and are usually managed by designated role(s) or person(s) within each agency.
To use the custom translations, you need to have access to settings that is set up under employee cross-company access, and be an advanced user with the appropriate access rights.
Please contact your WorkBook administrator if you can’t see this menu. System Administrators access to this menu by default.
A custom translation can be done for an existing language or by enabling a new language. Refer to this article to learn how to enable a new language for custom translation Global System Settings > Languages
