Language Texts Concepts

Maconomy applies the relevant language based on the specific context. For example, job invoices are in the language of the job being billed. If the text is not translated to a relevant language, Maconomy defaults to the standard language.

You can view the translatable text in the card part of this workspace and add lines containing the translation of the text in the Language Text Lines table. You can create languages by adding a value in the Language popup field in the Popup Fields workspace.

Maconomy uses the texts translated in this workspace on various printouts, such as invoices and credit memos. Some workspaces, such as the Item Information in the Inventory module, contain several fields which can be translated in different languages. You can also translate general used across all Maconomy modules.

When printing information, Maconomy uses the translation that is relevant to the context. For example, when printing sales orders, Maconomy uses the translations in the language of the customer. However, for activity descriptions, the translation from this workspace is only used when the related job uses an invoice layout rule that has specification per activity or sum activity. If the invoice layout rule uses a specification per entry, Maconomy uses the entry description provided for the current entry.
