Translate the name of a taxonomy

Translate the terms that belong to a taxonomy

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 UM-3.5 Edit taxonomies (terms).
