Adding and Revising Translated Descriptions

The data for business units, accounts, and Financial AAIs contains fields for translated descriptions. Translated descriptions are stored in the F0006D (business units), F0901D (accounts), and F0012D (Financial AAIs) tables.

The following table describes when you can use the configuration program and the spreadsheet to add and revise translated descriptions:

If business data for the translated descriptions already exists in the primary table (F0006, F0901, or F0012), you must use a configuration program to: Add translated descriptions for a new language. Revise existing translated descriptions.	If business data for the translated descriptions already exists in the primary tables, you cannot use a spreadsheet to add translated descriptions for a new language or to revise existing translated descriptions. If business data for the translated descriptions exists, the configuration program will issue duplicate key errors during the import process.
You can use the configuration program to add translated descriptions for a new language. On the <name of configuration> form, enter a code in the Language field and click Find.

If you begin the initial import and export process with a spreadsheet (business data does not yet exist in the primary table), you can use the spreadsheet to add translated descriptions for a new language. Add the translated descriptions in the spreadsheet and then import them to the configuration program. On the <name of configuration> form, the program displays the translated descriptions. Enter the code for the new language in the Language field and click Save.
