Title: Please assist with translate question
Post by: lkeyser on February 12, 2020, 12:11:02 AM

I hope i'm not pulling a stunt that can't be done.
I'm adding a small sample app of my problem.

I have to write a multi language webapp..

I can translate all headers in browser and Forms, menus, including some data on a drop list.
But the data in the browse does not translate the data.

In the sample I'm showing that Gender translates 100% in the form as a drop list when your select an alternative language.
but shows as the default Language in the browse.

Please assist me in to correct approach to this problem.
Many Thanks

Hi Leon,

Obviously some data in the database is going to translate, and some is not.
Names, numbers etc are all "language neutral" - whereas things like Gender can be translated.

the key is to set the DISPLAY field for the browse column. (there on the Field tab).
In your case to
p_web.translate(Sma:Gender)
and then obviously add to the WebHandler as well.

As a complete aside, instead of endless IF statements, you may want to use a CASE statement instead.

cheers
Bruce
