Localization Tab of the Form Property Editor

Use this tab to define translatable strings in a form. Once they are defined, you can use the strings in the following places:

Once you use the strings on a form and deploy the process app, you can access the strings in Application Administrator:
  1. Log in to Application Administrator, and then open the Localization feature.
  2. Select the Allow translation for MLS Runtime Objects and Design Objects check box on the Settings tab.
  3. Select the Values tab.

    The strings appear in the Form Strings section within your process app. The strings will remain in Application Administrator even if they are no longer in use on a form.
