Translate template tokens

Main Page > (UM) User manual > UM-5 Translate content / interface > UM-5.5 Translate interface > UM-5.5.1 Translate template tokens


The names of some user interface elements include "template tokens". Tokens:

  • Are variables whose value is determined by dynamically by the context.
  • Are represented by a number enclosed in percent signs (e.g. "%1%").
  • Must be included in the translation, but because different languages have different grammar rules, translators need to be aware of the type of information being handled in any given variable in any given context.


The following list enumerates in English the elements whose name includes a tokens, the nature of the variable and the context in which it occurs.
