 domain in the System functional area.
You can configure overrides for terms in a non-English language.

    Maintain Non-English Custom Labels
     task.
  2. Configure these values:
    Option Description
    User Language
    Example: Select
    Spanish (Neutral).
    Custom Label Context

    .
  3. Review the custom labels. In the
    Override Value
     column, enter the corresponding override value for each
    Default Value
     that you want to replace. Example: For the Spanish term
    registro de entrada
    , enter an equivalent
    registro de ingreso
     term.
  4. Clear the corresponding
    Disabled
     check box to activate your non-English custom labels in Workday. Custom labels are disabled by default.
  5. Click
    OK
    . Workday starts a background process that prepares the custom labels for the
    Maintain Non-English Custom Label Overrides
     task and the
    Get Non-English Custom Label Overrides
     web service.
    You can let the process complete or click
    Notify Me Later
    . When you click
    Notify Me Later
    , the process must finish running before you can use the
    Maintain Non-English Custom Label Override
     task.
    The
    Put Non-English Custom Labels
     web service also triggers the background process.
  6. Click
    Done
    .
  7. Access the
    Maintain Non-English Custom Label Overrides
     task.
  8. Configure these values:
    Option Description
    User Language
    Example: Select
    Spanish (Neutral).
    Custom Label
    Select the custom label that you want to override. Example: Select
    registrar entrada
    .
  9. Review the proposed values and select either
    Keep Original
     or
    Use Proposed Value
    . If you want to use all the proposed values, select
    Use All Proposed Values
    .
  10. Click
    OK
     and
    Done
    .
  11. (Optional) Access the
    Rebuild Search Index
     task.
    Rebuild the search index. Workday recommends that you don't rebuild search indexes manually but wait for the Friday server restart, when indexes rebuild automatically.
Your organization uses the Spanish term
registro de ingreso
 instead of Workday's default Spanish term
registro de entrada
. You want to replace the term
registro de entrada
 with a custom label override of
registro de ingreso
. After you configure overrides, when users sign into Workday with Spanish as their preferred display language setting, Workday displays the term
registro de ingreso
 instead of
registro de entrada
 on all time-related employee self-service reports and tasks.
