Screen Designer and Multiple Languages

Special considerations apply if you use Screen Designer in the browser or desktop application in a multilingual environment.

As a general rule, always visually check Screen Designer changes in all languages that you use in Vantagepoint to make sure the results are what you intended.

Providing Captions and Tooltips in Multiple Languages

When you add a new component (field, grid, tab, and so on) or tooltip to a screen, the component or tooltip is then available in Vantagepoint regardless of the language selected when a user logs in. However, you must enter the caption for a component or the text for a tooltip in each different language that you use. To do this, log in to Vantagepoint in each language that you expect users to use and enter the caption and tooltip text in Screen Designer in the language that you logged in with.

For example, assume that you have users who use both German and U.S. English. You log in to Vantagepoint with German selected and use Screen Designer to add a new field to one of the hubs. You enter the field caption in German. To provide the caption in English for your English-speaking users, you then log out of Vantagepoint, log back in with English selected, and use Screen Designer to enter the English caption for that same new field. If you add a new component in one language but do not enter the corresponding caption for it in another language, users who log in with that second language will see Not Translated as the caption for that component.

Moving Components to a Different Tab

This information applies only for Screen Designer in the desktop application. The caption for a component or a tooltip can vary significantly in length, depending on the language in which it is displayed. For example, a caption in German is often much longer than the equivalent caption in English. For that reason, when you move a component from one tab to another, it is important to log in with each enabled language and view that component in its new location to make sure its position on the tab is acceptable in all cases.
