Taxonomies are controlled vocabularies that generate drop-down value lists in ICA-AtoM to restrict data entry in certain fields to certain values. ICA-AtoM stores these values as term records in the database, associating each term with a particular taxonomy. For more on taxonomies, see in this manual:


Open translation page

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


2. On the Main menu bar, click the "Translate > Default content" sub-tab.


Translate taxonomy names

3. In the "Taxonomies" section, click "taxonomies" to view all taxonomy names.


4. The left-hand column (highlighted) shows the English names; enter / edit the translated names in the right-hand column.
