Managing Languages in BioT

Suggest Edits

BioT platform supports the functionality of translation to different languages. This functionality is achieved through the BioT Console Settings. It enables you to upload new Translation Files which can translate your UI into any language in your supported locales. You can also get labels using our APIs as described in Language and Translations.

To upload a translation file, you must first download the blank translation file, and fill it out with the translated phrases in your target language.

Downloading the Translation File

  1. Go to the Languages page from the BioT Settings.
  2. At the right hand side of the language you want to add, click the three dots icon.
  1. Click Download. The translation file will be saved in your local Downloads folder.

Editing the Translation File

Editing the translation file is done in Microsoft Excel. The file is a CSV file with the following columns:

That is, the key that BioT assigned to each particular phrase in the system.This column contains the original US English phrase that needs translating into the target language.This column is empty starting out, and is where you need to enter the translation of the phrase into your target language.
