Description
The Translations module allows administrators to manage all custom display texts used throughout the Any2Info platform.
Display texts are reusable text values that can be referenced in Forms, Dashboards, Menus, Notifications, and Agents. Because users can create their own display texts, they are also responsible for providing translations for each supported language.
The module allows you to:
Configure the languages available within the collection.
Create and maintain display texts.
Provide translations for each configured language.
Automatically translate selected display texts using AI (requires an OpenAI API key).
Managing Languages
The left panel displays all languages configured for the current collection.
Add a language
Click the + button to add a new language.
When adding a language, configure:
Name
Yes
Display name of the language.
Language code
Yes
Select one of the supported language codes. These language codes correspond with the languages supported by the default Any2Info application labels.
After creating a language, selecting it adds a new translation column to the display text grid.
Edit a language
Existing languages can be renamed.
Delete a language
Configured languages can be removed from the collection.
Note: Each language code can only be added once.
Display Texts
The right side of the page contains the Display texts grid.
Each row represents one display text.
Name
Unique identifier of the display text. This key is selected by developers when referencing display texts throughout the platform.
Default
Default text that is used when no translation exists for the active language.
Language columns
Translation for each configured language.
Translations can be entered or edited directly in the grid.
Add a display text
Click Add displaytext to create a new display text.
When creating a display text:
The Name must be unique.
Duplicate names are not allowed and will result in a validation error.
Both the Name and Default value can be edited later.
Delete display texts
Select one or more display texts using the checkboxes.
The selected rows can then be deleted using the toolbar.
AI Translation
When one or more display texts are selected, a Translate button becomes available in the toolbar.
The AI translation feature:
Translates only the selected display texts.
Translates only into the selected language(s).
Overwrites existing translations.
Requires an OpenAI API key to be configured in the Collection Properties.
If no OpenAI API key has been configured, an error message is displayed when attempting to use the translation feature.
Saving Changes
Changes made to languages, display texts, or translations are not saved automatically.
Click Save to persist your changes.
Note: There is no indication that unsaved changes exist. Be sure to save your work before leaving the page.
Usage
Display texts can be used throughout the Any2Info platform, including:
Forms
Dashboards
Menus
Notifications
Agents
When configuring these components, developers select the required display text from a dropdown list instead of entering static text directly.
Tips & Best Practices
Use clear, descriptive names for display texts since they act as unique identifiers.
Configure all required languages before entering translations.
Save changes regularly to avoid losing work.
Use AI translation to quickly generate initial translations, then review them before publishing.
Keep display text names stable after they have been referenced elsewhere in the application.
