Transferred translation

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In a transferred translation a word or a phrase located in an attribute of a block will be translated and the translation placed in another attribute of either the same block or of a different block. A typical use of this feature is for translations within the title field.

 

A transferred translation where the translation is placed in the same block as the original text, is called internal. A transferred translation where the translation is placed in another block, is called external.

 

The details of the needed settings are all described in the two tables below.
