Since Aptify includes many delivered Culture Strings, the major task for a translator is to provide local translations for those strings. Aptify provides the Aptify Localization Grid dashboard to simplify this process. The dashboard utilizes the multi entity grid control functionality to simplify the data entry process for translating various culture strings into a localized language. Note:

This dashboard is not the default for the Localization application. Aptify also includes another dashboard that displays list views of the Cultures and Culture Strings services as the default. The multi entity grid dashboard described in this section is accessible using the Switch Dashboard option. |
In the sample illustrated in Figure 7.2shown below, the multi entity grid displays the Culture Strings (using the Base Strings) as rows and Cultures as columns. The individual cells identify the translation of the default string to a particular language. These Culture String/Language relationships (which correspond to CultureStringLocals sub-type records) can easily be created, modified or deleted by directly editing the string within the grid without having to open any Culture Strings records. Note that an administrator can create a copy of the dashboard and modify the part's source SQL to display only a specific set of cultures as columns (rather than the cultures that Aptify displays by default).Anchor
