Names, descriptions, String List values (list entries) are translated via the Preference window). For the translation of String field values the Information window can be used.
As the Preference window is only available with the Cumulus Desktop Client, names and descriptions as well as values of String List fields can only be translated with the Desktop Client. String field values can be translated employing any of the Cumulus clients – sufficient permissions provided. However, String fields have to be set up for supporting multiple languages.
