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 bpm’online in multiple languages. The values should display according to the user culture. In bpm’online, 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.

- [Name] – “UsrEntityToLocalize”
- [Parent object] – “Base object”
Learn more about creating an object schema in the “Creating the entity schema” article.

- [Title] - “Name”
- [Name] – “UsrName”
- [Data type] – “Text (50 characters)”
Learn more about adding an object schema column in the “Creating the entity schema” article.
