Language of Workspace and Address Book Fields

FootPrints screens can display text in different languages for different users and Workspaces. This option, configured in the System Administration page, allows users in the same Workspace or system to view the labels and instructional text on the various screens in their own local language.

In addition to changing the fixed text, language-dependent labels can also be assigned to the Workspace and Address Book fields as they appear in the Issue Information and Contact Information sections of FootPrints pages.

To change the labels of Workspace and Address Book fields:

  1. Select Administration | Workspace | Language of Workspace and Address Book Fields from the FootPrints Toolbar.
  2. Select a language from the drop-down list. If only one language appears, then additional languages are not available.  Each Workspace and Address Book field for the current Workspace is listed (in the Workspace default language) with a text box.
  3. For each field, enter the label for the field in the new language.
  4. When you are finished changing the labels, click Save.  The field labels are displayed in the local language for each user.
