Localizing the Display Text in a Business Object Model

PREVIOUS NEXT

You can localize the Display Text property of each class and class member in a business object model. The mechanism for localizing a business object model is the same as the one used to localize Windows forms.

To localize the display text of a class or class member
  1. Open the Business Object Model View, and select the business object model you want to localize.
  2. Set the Localizable property for the business object model to True.
  3. Set the Language property for the business object model to the language in which you want to enter the value of the Display Text property.
  4. In the Business Object Model View, select the class, or class member that you want to localize.
  5. Set the Display Text property for the class or class member.
    6. You can swap languages (that is, change the Language property for the business object model) to see how the value of the Display Text property changes with the language of the business object model.

The following table shows an example of the Display Text property for two classes, Customer and Basket, for different values of the Language property of the business object model.
