Enhanced Export to PDF translations


What's New?

As a part of this enhancement the PDF headers, column names and few column data are translated to selected language in Incident Management, Service Request Management, Problem and Change Management.

Earlier, if the user downloaded the PDF by using the Export to PDF option throughout the application, the language translation provision was not available.

Benefits

  • This enhancement brings in multi language translation to PDF creation too.
  • Better readability for users who wish to extract PDF in selected language.
  • Improved customer experience.

Prerequisites

To enable this feature, the Admin must add the following keys in the Web.config file and add Weglot key in “App:WeglotKey“

<add key="App:WeglotURL" value=https://api.weglot.com/translate?api_key= />

<add key="App:WeglotKey" value="" /> // need to provide the Weglot key in value

<add key="App:IsWeglotExportToExcelEnabled" value="true" />

Add the following key in the Web.config file to validate whether the columns are in English. During validation the columns to be translated, and which columns are to be excluded are verified.

<add key="App:WeglotIdentifyNonEnglishContent" value="[^a-zA-Z0-9().:@!?\"'*$#\[\];{}<>\/=|\\&^%~,_\-\s]" />

The Weglot Key IsWeglotExportToExcelEnabled is applicable to Export to PDF too.
