Translation Control
Require: IP-Symcon >= 7.1
The translation module is a paid extension that can be purchased for any existing Symcon license. With each Symcon license, up to 10 strings per language can be translated free of charge. The extension can be purchased directly in the Shop.
It is recommended to translate from English into different languages. Therefore, the Symcon system should be run in English. The language of the operating system can be changed for this purpose. If the device on which Symcon is installed is not to be influenced, the special switch Locale can be set to en
The translation control allows any text in Symcon to be translated into different languages.
The various translations can be adapted here at any time. The entire system can be automatically translated using the service DeepL. An API key from DeepL is required for this. The translations apply to both the console and the visualization.
Add language
A new language can be added with the corresponding ISO language code.

Translation table
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Source text | The text found in the system and used for the translation with DeepL |
| Translated text | Initially empty. Can be filled manually or by the automatic translation. If the field is empty, the original text is displayed. |
| Reference | Shows whether the text originates from a profile or object and whether it is, for example, an object name or the suffix of a profile trade. This context can be used to improve the translation. |
| Status (New, Unused, Done) | The current status of the individual translations. New is set when the translation is initially recognized. If the translation has been successfully completed, the status is set to Finished. Entries with the status Unused are not sent for translation. |
