Hi,
Can you please tell me is it possible to use spreadsheets to translate objects from one language to another.
Goal si to list all objects (name of the objects) in column A for CRO language and in column B all objects (name of the objects) in ENG language and then translate one object after another.
Thx in advance,
Igor Pezzi
Hi,
I am not aware, that you can retrieve attribute values in different languages in spreadsheets, but I may be wrong.
I would like to recommend to you the classic way of achieving translations. Typically your objects not only have a name, but also several more attributes with text content, e.g. description/definition. There is the report "Export attribute values for translation". It will output all database objects with language dependent attribute types (even groups and the database name itself, if you like) into an Excel file and give you two columns: One for the source language and one for the target language. This Excel file is very convenient to hand over to some (external) translation office, which most likely will not have ARIS access.
The export can be executed on any group of your database. For importing the translation results from the Excel file, you execute the report "Import translated attributes" in the context of the database. That is safe, even if the objects have been moved around in the mean-time because the GUID of each object was exported to the Excel-file.
