Helpful Translation Tips Using the UI

In the relationship grid for Items within Aras Innovator you can see the properties of not only the related item that are visible, but also properties of the RelationshipType ItemType that are made visible as well. The trickiness of this feature arises from the fact that the label in the relationship tab does not necessarily match up with the relationship ItemType.

In the following example, we take a look at the ‘Grid’ ItemType. Looking at the form for the Grid ItemType you notice that there is a relationship tab that says Grid Events.

If you do a search on ItemTypes, you notice that there is an ItemType called ‘Grid Event’. You may have translated the sort_order property for the ‘Grid Events’ ItemType and noticed it is not translated in the Grid form. Although the relationship tab label displays ‘Grid Event’, the ‘Grid Event’ ItemType is not the relationship ItemType for the Grid -->Event relationship. The correct ItemType to edit for the Grid --> Event relationship is ‘Configurable Grid Event’.

By selecting RelationshipType in the Administration branch of the TOC you can perform a search of the ‘Source ItemType’ to verify what the ‘Relationship ItemType’ is.

After verifying the proper relationship ItemType, you then need to edit the label of the necessary properties and save the ItemType. After saving the ItemType verify that your translation adheres to the relationship grid.
