2. In the Language menu, select the language into which you want to translate. The interface switches to your selected language.


3. Any fields already translated will appear in translation; fields not yet translated will appear in the source language (for demo purposes, English).


4. Click the Title bar to switch to edit mode.


5. The original text in the source language will appear highlighted in a yellow box; enter the translation in the data entry box beneath it. Repeat for each field as required. Click the Save button.
