Throughout ICA-AtoM, [[Glossary#Controlled vocabulary|controlled vocabularies]] are used to generate drop-down value lists to restrict data entry in certain fields to certain values (e.g. the <span class="field">Type of entity</span> field can only take one of "Corporate body", "Person", "Family"). ICA-AtoM stores these values as <span class="entity">Term</span> records in the database. Translating a value list is therefore really just translating a series of database records from the <span class="entity">Term</span> table and follows the same logic as described above ([[#Translating records |Translating records]]).

Throughout ICA-AtoM, controlled vocabularies are used to generate drop-down value lists to restrict data entry in certain fields to certain values (e.g. the Type of entity field can only take one of "Corporate body", "Person", "Family"). ICA-AtoM stores these values as Term records in the database. Translating a value list is therefore really just translating a series of database records from the Term table and follows the same logic as described above (Translating records).


1. Log in.


2. In the Language menu click the language into which you want to translate.
