Configurator Translator Program Epicor 9.05.700B

You can use the FieldLabel function to change the label on the control. You could put a check box on the configurator for user to pick the language they want and the on-leave statement would run fieldLabel functions on all the controls changing the language. You could also do a lookup as part of the first control's on-leave statement and using some value set the language based on the user.

FieldLabel('InputFieldName', {string}) You could store the values for each control in a UD table and dynamically look them up based on the user's language choice/selection.

Hi,

I am trying to use ABL code to change the input labels on our
configurator screens to translate the words based upon a given language.

To do this I am trying to figure out exactly what happens when a
configurator is run for the first time. My best guess is that the
configurator table is copied to a temp table and the user is actually
using this temp table to configure off of.

I have been testing this but have been unable to locate the table i need
to change to change the input labels. Any input would be greatly
appreciated.

Take a look at the tables that start Pc... There are several to choose from that hold the values for the configurator. My people wanted the ability to "copy" another configuration so I imported the values from PcInValue just as an example.

Hi,

I am trying to use ABL code to change the input labels on our
configurator screens to translate the words based upon a given language.

To do this I am trying to figure out exactly what happens when a
configurator is run for the first time. My best guess is that the
configurator table is copied to a temp table and the user is actually
using this temp table to configure off of.

I have been testing this but have been unable to locate the table i need
to change to change the input labels. Any input would be greatly
appreciated.

I looked into this a little bit but I need to be able to do it on a case by case basis i.e. someone runs the configurator in Spanish at the same time as someone runs it in English. That is why I was hoping to write to the temp table being used. Do you know of anyway to trace this process to see what table the configurator is running from on the users screen?

Your best option for this is to place a post process BPM on the method that reads the configurator data, you can then translate any labels you need,
It gets a little more complex if you want to translate the results of drop downs.

Is there any easy way to determine what this BPM is? Sorry I am very new to this system and am learning as I go.

The configurator can pull current Company, Plant & UserID info. IF there is a consistent Field that you can pull from that would indicate language preference then you can change the labels accordingly. Or you could simply pose a question at the beginning and use that answer. Or you can get fancy and check the userfile for the preference if not there prompt the preference page then write that preference to a UD Field on the userfile table and go from there.
