Translation of foundation data when multiple languages are used by the


customer

Foundation Data Translation

Foundation objects reflect a company’s basic information about the organization, pay, and job
structures. This information is fundamental data displayed repeatedly throughout the system for
administrators and employees. It is, therefore, important that this information can be shown in the
user’s language.
To display information in the user’s language, you can translate the language-specific data of
foundation objects, such as the name and description.

This lesson will only focus on translating the legacy foundation data. The MDF foundation records and
any generic record translations are included in the import template for the object.

Translations of legacy foundation data


Add or change translations on the UI. We recommend this if you want to add or change only a few
terms. For example, when you want to correct a single term that has not been translated appropriately.
Use the following steps to complete this action:
1. Go to Manage Organization, Pay, and Job Structures.
2. In the Search field, choose the type of foundation object (for example, Event Reason) and the
specific object (for example, New Hire) you want to add or change a translation.
3. Choose the Translations icon next to the translatable field (as shown in the figure,
Modification of Translations).
4. In the Translations dialog box, enter or change the translation directly.
5. Choose Done and then Save.

Import translations. This is used for translating mass legacy Foundation data. Translation Process
using Import Method. The following steps highlight the general translation process:
1. Go to Import and Export Data → Action to Perform: Export Data → Select Generic Object:
FoTranslation
a. Select Export
b. Select View Result
c. In Scheduled Job Manager, select View Details. Click Download Status.
The figure, Downloaded CSV File, shows the downloaded CSV file.

The text that the Admin has entered for the name and description of existing foundation objects is
contained in the corresponding language column. All other language columns are determined by the
language pack activated in Provisioning. You must enter the translations into these columns. Send the
CSV file to the translator, who can edit the file offline. Then, consolidate the translations for all required
languages in one CSV file.

There is no incremental upload for the supported Foundation Object translations. If you have uploaded
translations before, the latest CSV file upload overwrites the previous version. Therefore, the
consolidated document must contain all required translations, even if it is a shared process of different
translators.

2. Translate the Foundation Data The following figure is an example of a translated file; the
translations are highlighted in column H.
