Steps: Set Up Non-English Custom Labels

Steps: Set Up Non-English Custom Labels

Enable
Allow Mixed-Language Transactions
 on the
Edit Workday Account
 task for users who will work on non-English custom labels tasks.
Security:
Custom Label Management for Non-English
 domain in the System functional area.
Workday defines the non-English terms that you can override for certain languages. You can replace a non-English, Workday-delivered term with a custom override. When you override a default translated term, Workday replaces the term in metadata strings and displays them in Workday.
The non-English custom labels functionality enables you to customize and override Workday-delivered translated labels with translations that are more appropriate for your organization. You can also edit incorrect translated custom label replacements. You can configure custom labels for all Workday supported languages.
  3. Access the
    Maintain Non-English Custom Labels
     task.
    Enable the non-English custom label changes.
  4. (Optional) Access the
    Non-English Custom Label Changes
     report.
    View non-English custom label configuration changes made by Workday or another user. This report helps you maintain non-English custom labels in your tenant.
  5. (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.
Workday displays the non-English custom labels that you configured instead of the default Workday-delivered term.
