Translate workflows
You can translate workflows in any of the supported languages by adding custom strings for those languages and leveraging the workflows Java API translation bean.
To use custom strings, you must prepare your workflow for translations:
Item | Workflow Designer | Eclipse plug-in** | Custom string example |
---|---|---|---|
Task name* |
|
user.task1.name=The translated name of the task | |
Task description* |
|
user.task1.description=The translated description of the task | |
Form fields |
|
|
text.area.label=The translated label of the field |
Form buttons |
|
|
button.name=The translated name of the button |
Email task |
|
|
email.body=The translated body of the email |
Custom error message |
|
error.description=The translated description of the error |
* Start forms display the process name instead of the task name and description. You cannot translate the process name.
** There are multiple known issues for Eclipse plug-in translations:
- You cannot translate the form property options, such as check-box options.
- The boolean form property type retains the English "True" and "False" options.
- The calendars for the datetime form property type retain the English "Cancel" and "Apply" buttons.
