Enabling multi-language in an object schema

Glossary Item Box

Introduction

There is often a need to localize one or more columns of an object schema. In other words, certain record data must display in Creatio in multiple languages. The values should display according to the user culture. In Creatio, there is a multilingual data mechanism for these purposes.

To create an object schema with localizable columns:

1. Create a new or a replacing object schema.

2. Add the localizable columns, if necessary. Select the [Localizable text] checkbox in the column properties.

ATTENTION

You can only localize text columns.

Case description

Create the [Localizable object] object schema with the localizable [Name] column.

Source code

You can download the package with case implementation using the following link.

Case implementation algorithm

1. Creating an object schema

Create an object schema with the following properties (Fig. 1):

  • [Title] – “Localizable object”
  • [Name] – “UsrEntityToLocalize”
  • [Parent object] – “Base object”

Learn more about creating an object schema in the “Creating the entity schema” article.

2. Adding the necessary localized columns

Add a column with the following properties:

  • [Title] - “Name”
  • [Name] – “UsrName”
  • [Data type] – “Text (50 characters)”

Learn more about adding an object schema column in the “Creating the entity schema” article.

Select [Localizable text] in the added column properties (Fig. 2). The checkbox is only available in the advanced mode of the object designer (see “Workspace of the Object Designer”).

Publish the schema to apply the changes.

A SysUsrEntityToLocalizeLcz localization table will be created for the UsrEntityToLocalize object schema in the database after publishing. The localizable column data will be stored there.
