How to properly handle multi-language app?

0
Hi I have studied Mendix for a few months now. I am currently having issue with Mendix app in non-English app.   Here is the issue: When I am download modules from Marketplace to my Chinese(default) Mendix app, it will suddenly throws errors about all the Captions due to no Chinese translations. Here is an example when importing Workflow Commons module:     Is there an easy way to add other language translations to those modules? If I have to manually add all the translations for each Caption, what could be the best practice, since I usually shouldn't modify the modules downloaded from the marketplace?

Did you see the docs here: https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/translation-generator/ ?

So yes importing modules will generate errors because the translations are missing. But with this feature you can translate quickly all missing stuff. And yes, Mendix is working on how to better support module translations. But that will still take a while.

Regards,

Ronald

Hi 

   Open the Project > Settings > Languages

modules contain hardcoded captions (e.g., labels and buttons) that are not translated using the translation system.

 

Go through this documentation 

https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/language-settings/

Ethan Tse,

 

By default marketplace modules will use English US, this will avoid the issue for the future. For now if you add in translations for those captions for English UK it will resolve the errors. Alternatively you could switch to English US default.
