How to Change the translation word of English

[Derek]

Base language is English.
I can change the translation of other language in [System Translation Check], but I cannot find English itself there.
How can I do that? Do I need to import English with those English xml files under /data/ ?

Hi Derek,

English-US is the base language, so there is no translation, but you would need to change the Element directly.

An usual recommendation is to use for your english a different set, for example en_AU (English Australia), that can be managed as you expect on translation.

Hi, Carlos, thanks for your explanation. It would be a better method to do the translation.
But the key point is that I can not translate one label into two Language within a window/tab.
I have no idea to change the layout for better way.

Hi Derek, which is the label you want to change, from/to? on which window? form?

Hi, Carlos, for example, I want to change the first Tab name of Sales Order window from 'Order' to 'Sales Order'.
even to do in your suggested way, import English as another language(English Special), then I need to select English Special first, then find the first Tab name of Sales Order to change,
after that, I still need to select my own language in the first tab, then find out the first Tab name of Sales Order again.

I appreciate that I select the label (the first Tab name of Sales Order), then I can change (English Special) and my own language at the same window.
At least I don't need to find the label for twice(if more language I need to support, I need to find the label for N times).

Carlos, do you have any suggestion to do it better? Many thanks for your help, I really learn a lot yet.

Hi Derek, still not clear for me your issue.

Two ways to change the tab name:

1 - On Window "Window, Tab & Field" navigate to the tab, then go to "Tab translation" and change all the languages.

2 - Use window "System Translation Check" - from the language you can navigate to the detail tabs to make several translations at once
