Enabling Translatable Object Titles
To use translatable object titles, you need to have the
desired languages added as vault languages in the Languages and Translations dialog. However, it is not required that the
metadata structure is translated into those languages.
Note: This feature is not supported in the M-Files
add-ins such as M-Files Add-in for Teams and SharePoint
Online.
The translatable object title configuration allows you to give objects titles in different languages. When an object has multilingual titles, the translated names can be used as search criteria. You can search for and find documents and other objects in your own language regardless of the original object's language. The language version that matches the Vault language in the Change Language dialog is used on the title area of the metadata card, listing area as well as in notifications and value lists.
To enable translatable object titles, do the following steps:
Note: After you have saved the changes and M-Files Server has been
restarted, end users must log out from and log back in to the vault to be able to
use translatable object titles. To log out all vault users, restart the vault. However, taking a vault
offline must always be done in a controlled manner and the vault users must be notified
beforehand.
Tip: You can use metadata card configuration rules
to show the translated object titles after the actual Name or
title property.
