Language of Project and Address Book Fields

FootPrints screens can display text in different languages for different users and Projects. This option, configured in the System Administration page, allows users in the same Project or system to view the labels and instructional text in the various FootPrints screens in their own local language.

In addition to changing the fixed text, language-dependent labels can also be assigned to the Project and Address Book fields as they appear in the Issue Information and Contact Information sections of FootPrints pages.

To change the labels of Project and Address Book fields:

  1. Select Administration | Project | Language of Project and Address Book Fields from the FootPrints Toolbar.
  2. Select a language from the drop-down list. If only one language appears, then additional languages are not available.  Each Project and Address Book field for the current Project is listed (in the Project default language) with a text box.
  3. For each field, enter the label for the field in the new language.
  4. When you are finished changing the labels, click GO.  The field labels are displayed in the local language for each user.
