FAQ: Migrating Translations

FAQ: Migrating Translations

How do I know which migratable Implementation Types contain translatable fields?
You can view these reports:
  • The tenanted
    Object Transporter Supported Objects (OX)
     report in Workday.
    It includes information about translatable and migratable fields. To view the report, you must have access to the
    OX for Non Implementers
     domain in the Implementation functional area.
  • The
    Translatable Tenant Classes and Ref ID Indexes
     report in the Translations Hub.
    It includes information about what you can translate in your tenant. To view the report, you must have access to the
    Data Translation
     domain in the System functional area.
Why don’t I see translations included in my migration?
You might be migrating a nontranslatable object. Not all objects in Workday are available for translation. To verify that your object is translatable, access the
Object Transporter Supported Objects (OX) report
 in Workday.
Why are some translation values for my object missing from the Attribute Diff report?
You might not have enabled the relevant languages in your target tenant. Object Transporter only migrates translated values for languages that you enable in the target tenant. Access the
Edit Tenant Setup - Global
 report to verify that the correct languages are enabled for your target tenant. To view the report, you must have access to the
Set Up: Tenant Setup - Global
 domain in the System functional area.
How do I prevent translations from migrating?
There are several ways to prevent Object Transporter from migrating translation values:
  • During a migration workflow, clear the Include Translations? check box.
  • To stop Object Transporter from migrating translations for a particular language, disable the language in your target tenant. You must have access to the
    Set Up: Tenant Setup - Global
     domain in the System functional area.
Why aren't my translation-only updates applying to an existing object in the target tenant?
Object Transporter doesn’t apply updates if a translation is the only modification made to an already existing object.
If you encounter this issue, we recommend that you manually update the translated values directly in the target tenant
