Access and Edit Translations in a Datasheet

In a datasheet or master datasheet, you can access and edit language translations for a Phrase type cell, as well as specify which version of the translation to store alongside the source language phrase text. Additionally, in a master datasheet you can specify which languages to sync to the Phrase, so each datasheet shows only the languages that matter for its region or product line.

The link between the Phrase Library and datasheets allows you to use master datasheets as a source of content for multilingual label or artwork printing because the database stores the selected phrase and its chosen translations together for printing and API output.

Note: To access translation phrases in a datasheet, an administrator must enable Translation for Phrases in the Master Datasheet Settings. For more information, see Edit Master Datasheet Settings.

To edit translation phrases in a datasheet perform the following steps.

To open a master datasheet, click the Phrase & Data Library icon from the navigation menu, and then click Master Datasheet.
On the Master Datasheet page, select a master datasheet from the By Sheet drop-down list.
To view a previously saved filter, select a view from the By Custom View drop-down list.
Use the filters to find the row(s) that contains the Phrase cell you want to edit.
Right-click the cell and select Cell data. The Edit Cell dialog box opens.
In the Cell Data tab of the Edit Cell dialog box, click the Translations button. The Translations dialog box opens and displays any translations that are enabled for the datasheet.
To change the version of the phrase for a language, click the Version drop-down list and select the version you want to use.
To remove a language from the Phrase, click the Delete icon in the row of the language.
To add a language, click the Add Language button.
Click Confirm to save your changes.
