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: | Setting | Required | Description | | ------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 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. | Column | Description | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 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. *** ### Changelog | Version | Date | Change | | ------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------ | | 1.0 | July 9, 2026 | Initial documentation version added. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://academy.any2info.com/any2info-academy/no-code-platform/tools/translation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
