Configure multilingual actions for a form or control

You can configure unique actions for a form or control for each language at design time. As a result, the same action can trigger differently for different languages at runtime.

The language is based on the user's language selection, or it is automatically tracked from the browser at runtime.

Example

For a globally accessed website, you can display the News section on the Home page based on a user's language preference. Configure the Redirect action on the News button so that when the button is clicked, the News form appears in the browser language.

You can configure a multi-lingual action for all controls except the following:

  • Close

  • End Condition

  • Set Language

  • Delete Row

  1. On the Form Modeling bar, click Actions.

    The Actions page appears.

  2. On the Actions page, click Add Generic Add.
  3. On the Type list, select an action, such as .NET Method.
  4. Enter a Name and Description for the action.
  5. For Multilingual, select Yes. (Default: No)
  6. Click Configure.

    The Languages page appears.

  7. Select the required languages and click Close.

    The selected languages are added to the list.

  8. On the list, select the language for your action.
  9. Configure other details for the action, as appropriate.
  10. Click OK.
  11. Click Save.

    When the action is executed, the page is based on the language detected at runtime.
