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 page|static pages]]):

Translate template tokens

Main Page > User manual > UM-5 Translate content / interface > UM-5.3 Translate interface > UM-5.3.1 Translate template tokens

Some interface element names include template tokens


The names of some user interface elements include template tokens.


Tokens:

  • Are variables whose value is determined 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 table below enumerates in English the elements whose names include tokens and for each gives a brief explanation of the nature of the variable and the context in which it occurs.
