App translations
Planon Universe is deployed worldwide, hence it needs to comply with internationalization standards (i18n).
This, too, is true for apps. In the Marketplace, an app's value and deployability becomes greater if it supports translatability.
Clearly, apps that support translations potentially have a larger deployment base.
How does the Planon application support translation of these apps?
Procedure
1. Install your app in the AppCenter.
For apps supporting internationalization, the translations are available on a separate tab.
2. Go to >
The app’s translations appear in the data panel, here you can adjust them.
◦ To manually provide a translation, proceed with step 3
◦ To export the app's translation as part of the language file, proceed with step 4.
3. Select an item in the elements list and, in the data panel provide the proper translation for the required languages.
4. Go to > and export a language.
The exported language will appear in your browser's download location.
5. Open the file, the app's translations are identified by its namespace (or filter on status ##0##):
##A## <App namespace>.<ResourceKey> ## PlatformApp ##<Translation status> ## <Translation text> ##Z##
You can translate these keys in the required language(s) and import them.
 | • Note that the app's translation follow the Planon application's logic regarding export and import. For more information, see Languages. • For a video about this subject, see the Planon video channel. • It is possible for partners/developers to specify a locale and by doing so get translations in another language than the logged in user's. By using this mechanism, you can only retrieve app translations. For more information, see the developer portal (credentials required). |
