Fact Types Dialog

Fact Definition Language Variant Dialog

To open the Fact Definition Language Variant Dialog, open the Fact Types Dialog, right-click on any fact, and choose Edit Language Variant from the dropdown menu that appears. You can also open this dialog by clicking on the Go to Language Variant button in the Fact Definition Dialog. Either way, you will be required to choose the appropriate language pack. If the language you want is not listed, you need to install it. See Languages and Language Packs for more details.

Tip: Before opening the Fact Definition Language Variant Dialog, you are recommended to make sure that the Fact Types Dialog is showing all the fact types you want to translate (which may be all fact types). This is because the Next and Previous buttons will move you forwards and backwards through this list. This way you can do all the translations you need to do, without ever having to close and re-open this dialog, saving time and effort.

Buttons

Save	Saves changes. Does not close the dialog.
Previous	Move to the previous fact type, in the Fact Type list. You will be prompted to save changes first, if there are any.
Next	Move to the next fact type, in the Fact Type list. You will be prompted to save changes first, if there are any.
Close	Closes this dialog. You will be prompted to save changes first, if there are any.
<< Insert Code	Insert a sentence template codes into the appropriate sentence template. See Sentence Template Codes for more information.
Edit	Opens the Edit Role - Language Variant Dialog so that you can translate all roles for this fact type.
Delete	If a fact type has a role in the default language, the role will be listed here and you cannot delete it. The only time you can delete a role in the list, is if, owing presumably to changes to the default language fact definition, there is a language-variant role listed, which does not exist in the default language fact definition. Any such roles (and only roles such as these) can be deleted.
Go To Fact Definition	Close the current dialog (prompt to save changes if any, first) and open the Fact Definition Dialog instead.

Label	Label (translated)
