Translate the description of a fabricate

Translate the description and the technical details of a fabricate into multiple languages. You can use the translated description and technical details in two scenarios:

• In purchase order printouts for foreign suppliers, if the text related to a standard material, a project component, or a pre-fabricated item is translated into the language of the suppliers, you can replace the translated text with the default text defined in the material catalogues.

• When you print a part list through the s21000 Part Lists screen, you can select the language for the r21800 Part List report using the Language parameter. If standard materials, project components, drawings, or pre-fabricated items contain descriptions translated into the selected language, the printout displays the translated text.
