Language management

Set up new languages

Truedat is available in English and Spanish by default. You can also set up other languages. To do so, go to Administration → Translations/Languages → Manage.

When you add a language, all messages and texts are copied from the default language. Update them with translations for the new language.

Truedat displays text in the user's browser language. If that language is not configured, it uses the default language.

Customise texts

As an administrator, you can customise most text in Truedat. This includes menu options, labels, messages, and icons. Go to Administration → Translations to view all customisable text in the available languages.

Modify an existing text

To modify existing text, find it using the search box. Select the Definition and edit it. You can add a description or note for the message. Changes apply immediately and appear on the website. For example, change “concept” to “term” by searching for “concept”. Then update the definitions in the results.

Create a new text

To create text, select Create Message. Complete the form with the Message ID, text for each language, and an optional description or note.

The menu texts can be customised as follows:

The Message ID follows this pattern: "sidemenu.[name of the menu option]". Search for “sidemenu”, then update the Definition for the menu option.

The menu icons can be customised as follows:

The Message ID follows this pattern: "sidemenu.[name of the menu option].icon".

sidemenu.admin.icon
sidemenu.ai.icon
sidemenu.catalog.icon
sidemenu.dashboards.icon
sidemenu.glossary.icon
sidemenu.grants.icon
sidemenu.ingest.icon
sidemenu.lineage.icon
sidemenu.members.icon
sidemenu.quality.icon
sidemenu.qx.icon
sidemenu.search.icon
sidemenu.taxonomy.icon

The Definition contains the icon name. Choose an icon from Semantic UI React.

Customise page header icons

The page header icons can be customised as follows:

The Message ID follows this pattern: "[name of the page].header.icon".

- concepts.header.icon

- domains.header.icon
Data Catalog pages:
- structureType.header.icon
- structureTypes.header.icon

Customise filter fields

You can use template fields to filter searches. By default, each filter displays its template field name. To display more meaningful text, create a message with the appropriate text.

The Message ID follows this pattern: filters.[name of the field in the template]

The Definition contains the displayed text.

Example: A template field is named basic_list. To display “Basic list” instead, create the appropriate message.

Customise values of filter fields

You can also customise values displayed in a filter. This applies when a template field uses a list of values.

The Message ID follows this pattern: filters.[name of the field in the template].[value from the template]

The Definition contains the displayed text.

Example: A template field named basic_list has the values 1, 2, 3, and 4. To display “First” instead of “1”, create the appropriate message.

Create a structure type icon

You can customise icons associated with structure types using a message.

The Message ID for a structure type icon follows this pattern: "structure.type.[structure type].icon". To customise an icon by field type, such as string, numeric, or boolean, use: "structure.type.[field_type].icon".

The Definition contains the icon name. Choose an icon from Semantic UI React.

Use the following messages to customise Share icons:

shareLink.concepts.icon
shareLink.structures.icon

The Definition contains the icon name. Choose an icon from Semantic UI React.

Translate template fields

Use the following messages to localise template labels, field group names, fields, and values:

templates.{label}
templates.groups.{group_name}
fields.{label}
fields.{label}.{value}

For Dropdown → Key/value list fields, use the value, not the key, in the translation message.
