The content of most screens in ICA-AtoM is dynamically generated by context and depends on which record(s) has the user requested by which action (view, list, edit, search etc). The application does ship, however, with two pages whose content is always the same (static pages):
- The Home screen displays a welcome message to users.
- The About page displays information about the application.
Editors and administrators can edit these pages, which are just text with HTML tags stored as a database record in the static page table.
- For more on customizing static pages, see in this manual: [[UM-7.3|Administer ICA-AtoM] > Customize settings (UM-7.3)]).
To translate a static 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 tab.
3. In the Static pages section, click the page you want to translate.
4. The left-hand column (highlighted) shows the English text; enter / edit the translation in the right-hand column.
5. Always include the HTML coding in the translation.
6. Click the Save button.
7. ICA-AtoM registers the new translations and re-loads the page, collapsing the Static pages section.
