Update Company Translation

Explanation

Use this activity to add or update translations in an existing company.
When creating a company, you can select languages from the source company or template and those languages will be used when creating translations for the new company.

This activity can be used for the following scenarios:

• The languages selected when the company was originally created are no longer sufficient and you need to add translations in one or several languages that are available in the source company/template but not in the current company.
• A company source (typically a new version of a company template) contains translations in languages that were not available when the company was created from this source. You can use this activity to add translations for these languages.
• Translations in existing languages have been updated in the source company or source template. Use this activity to update translations in the current company via updated translations in the source company or template.

Generally speaking, the following rules apply:

• Only translations related to translatable attributes in the current company will be handled. This means that if the source company or template has translatable attributes that do not exist in the current company, then these attributes will not be created or handled. Use the Update Company activity for such a case.
• The source text (related to a translatable attribute in the source company or template and selected from the translation framework) will always be the current translation. The source text will be used to update the installation text in the translation framework for the current company if this text differs from the source text.
• If the installation text is updated in the company translation framework for the current company, then the current translation will also be updated as long as the installation text and current text are equal before the update.

If the current company has no reference to a source company or source template then you must select a company template as the update source. By default, the default company template is selected but it is possible to use any active company template as the update source.

Prerequisites

The current company must contain translatable attributes that also exist in the translation framework for the source company or template. 

System Effects

New translations are added or existing translations are updated in the current company.
