Multi-linguals front-end Flashcards
What does Mendix offer to accommodate users and customers from different parts of the world, and how does it work?
Mendix offers the ability to create multilingual applications using “translatable texts.” Translatable texts allow for easy translation of labels, button captions, data grid columns, and menu items. Users can experience the application in their preferred language.
What is the role of “translatable texts” in Mendix, and which parts of an application can be easily translated using them?
Translatable texts in Mendix are used to translate labels, button captions, data grid columns, and menu items in an application. They make it easy to offer an application in multiple languages.
How can you add multiple languages to your Mendix application, and what is the significance of setting a default language?
In Mendix, you can add multiple languages to your application. The default language is what users will see when they use the application. It’s essential for providing a default language experience.
What is meant by the “development language” in Mendix, and why is it essential to set it correctly at the start of a project?
The development language in Mendix is the language used during app development. It’s crucial to set it correctly at the start to ensure that labels, messages, etc., are added to the correct language library.
When a label has not been translated into the selected language in Mendix, how is it displayed to users on pages, and what happens when the app is deployed with untranslated labels?
In Mendix, if a label has not been translated into the selected language, it is displayed with the default language text enclosed in angle brackets (< >). When the app is deployed with untranslated labels, they will also display the default language label but without the angle brackets.
In Mendix, where can you configure the Modeler’s strictness in checking for translations, and why might you want to adjust this setting?

What is the purpose of the “Batch Translate” feature in Mendix Studio Pro, and how does it simplify the translation process?
The “Batch Translate” feature in Mendix Studio Pro simplifies the translation process by providing a complete list of translatable texts in both the source and destination languages. It allows users to replace words in angle brackets with new words for translation, making it more efficient to translate an app or specific parts of it.
How can the “Text Occurrence” window help when translating labels and texts in Mendix, and why is it important to know where these labels are used?
The “Text Occurrence” window helps identify where labels and texts are used in an app, especially when they occur multiple times. It’s important to know where labels are used because the context can vary, and accurate translation depends on understanding the context.
