Translating Screen Names (Singular / Plural):

  • The singular translation is used on the edit screen (e.g., Sales Invoice).
  • The plural translation is used on the list screen (e.g., Sales Invoices).

To modify these translations:

  • For singular: Select the type, leave the "ID" field empty, then fill in the "Arabic" and "English" fields.
  • For plural: Select the same type, enter s in the "ID" field, then fill in the "Arabic" and "English" fields.

Translating Fields:

  • General field translation:

    • Enter the field ID in the "ID" field.
    • Fill in the "Arabic" and "English" fields.
  • Translating a field within a specific screen:

    • Specify the screen name in the "Type" field.
  • Translating a field across multiple screens:

    • Create a "Type List" file containing those screens.
    • Use this file in the "Type List" field.
