Translate content of static page


The content of most screens in ICA-AtoM is dynamically generated by context and depends on which record(s) the user has 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 page 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 database content in the static page table.


To translate a static page:


1. In the language menu, click the language into which you want to translate.


2. Navigate to the static page you wish to translate.


3. Click "edit this page" in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.


4. Enter or edit the translation in the box below the static page text.


5. Always include the HTML coding in the translation.


6. Click the save button to save the translation.
