Multi-language Features

Translation Tables

With the click of a button, you can switch to your selected language.

Only Excel templates have language translation tables.
To learn how to translate Word or PowerPoint templates, watch the Translations training video.

International versions of Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Word and Excel have excellent foundational support for almost every popular language.

(Unlike most home-grown templates), your Systems2win templates work with most international versions of Microsoft Windows and Office.

So if you are an employee of a global enterprise, and you're running the Hungarian version of Office on the German version of Windows, while currently switched to the Spanish Language Pack, your Systems2win templates will work. (and your home-grown templates probably won't)

All of your Windows, Word, and Excel help files will be in your chosen language.

Pop-up help for row or column labels

In any Systems2win template, pop-up help appears whenever you click any row or column header label.

This pop-up help is in English. To learn how to translate pop-up help, watch the Translations training video.

And you can also optionally supplement (not replace) Systems2win's help by inserting Cell Comments, that will appear when your users hover their mouse over that row or column header label cell. Your personalized Cell Comments can be in any language.

Dropdown Lists

Many Systems2win templates have dropdown lists for faster, more accurate data entry.

You can personalize your dropdown menus on the DV sheet, and your dropdown lists can be in any language.

User Defined Training

The Help sheet of every Systems2win template has a User-Defined Training section, and your User-Defined Training can be in any language.

User Help Text Boxes

Use Systems2win menu > Copy Shapes to copy the green-bordered User Help Text Box to any sheet, to provide extra help for your users — in any language.

Pictures and Shapes

When trying to communicate with people speaking multiple languages, a picture can be worth a thousand words.

In addition to the many pre-defined shapes that come with the many Systems2win drawing templates, it's easy to add your own custom shapes.

Links to your own training materials

In addition to the extensive English language training & videos that come with your Systems2win templates, Link Icons make it easy to add links to your own training materials, which might be any web page or video on the Internet, and might be your own PDF's, Word documents, PowerPoints, intranet pages, videos, etc., which can be in any language.

There are even special Link Icons for international flags. When a user sees the flag for their language — they know that it will lead to something that they can read and understand.

Online Training

Online training for how to use multi-language templates is found in the Help sheet of each template that supports multiple languages.

Technical Support

All technical support is in English, so you need someone on your IT staff who is fluent in English.

Personalization Upgrade Utility

When you upgrade your templates, the optional Systems2win Personalization Upgrade Utility will automatically find and transfer
the most common personalizations that you can optionally add to your templates.

Other Personalization

You have all the power of Excel to personalize your templates any way you want them, in any language.

What Translations are available?

for your Systems2win Excel templates

Popular Languages	Less Popular Languages
A "popular" language is purchased by a sufficient number of customers to spread the costs of maintaining that language translation over time as the Systems2win application continues to evolve.	Any customer can sponsor initial translation of any language. A language becomes "popular" if and when a sufficient number of customers purchase that translation.
Popular languages that have already been translated, and that are available for immediate delivery, include: Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, and German Add To Cart	Contact us to get a quote for the language that you want most.
Popular language translations are updated on a periodic cycle, and can be delivered immediately.	Less popular languages are updated only when either: a new customer purchases that language, or an existing customer pays a negotiated Translation Update cost

data

Data Translation

By "data", we mean the content of your working document not the row & column headers, or help instructions, etc.

Usually, the data for any given worksheet is in a single language.

If you need the same data in multiple languages, then it is often easiest to simply duplicate the data in another worksheet or workbook.

You also have the option of linking cells to the User-Defined section of your TT worksheet, so that those data cells switch language (along with headers and help).

The FMEA is the one template that has a special button for translating data (in addition translating headers, buttons, and help).

How to personalize your templates

for language translations and User Substitute Phrases

Your Leaders can optionally personalize any Systems2win master Excel template using any of the...

Many ways to personalize translations

All of the above types of personalizations are automatically found and transferred to your new templates each time you upgrade — using the Systems2win Personalization Upgrade Utility.

How to edit User Substitute Phrases

1. Select the cell that contains the phrase you want to change.
2. In the Formula Bar, copy the ID number from the VLOOKUP formula,

   then use the Esc key, so that you are no longer editing the formula.

3. In the TT sheet, (which you might need to unhide first)...

   use CTRL+F to find your copied ID number.

4. In the row for that ID number...

   Enter your desired substitute phrase —
   in one or more User Substitution columns.

   Note: If the User Substitution column is blank for any row, then the original phrase will be used.

5. When you're done, rehide the TT sheet

   and finish cleaning up your workbook,
   following the usual instructions for how to personalize any Systems2win workbook.

6. Test: Use the Select Translation button to select (or refresh) your User Substitutions

   which will replace the default text with your own.

7. Optional: Perhaps save the document with your User Substitution pre-selected

   so that your users don't need to do anything. Your substitute phrases become the default.

   (And if you use the Systems2win Personalization Upgrade Utility, your default user substitutions will remain the default — even when you receive your new upgraded templates every time you upgrade)

How to add more User Substitution columns

1. Copy the first User Substitution column.

   Tip: You should not edit that first User Substitution column.
   Leave it blank of everything except the Example data — so that it is always in a clean state ready to be copied.

2. Use Insert Copied Cells to paste your new column anywhere between the first User Substitution column and the thin gold line after the last User Substitution column.

   Tip: To use Insert Copied Cells, you might need to unhide the top rows.

DDLists

Dropdown Lists

There are three different approaches for dropdown lists in multiple languages:

OPTION 1) Simply add items to the list in different languages

This approach is the easiest to understand and maintain

and allows the user to choose any item from the list (in any language)
no matter which language is currently selected for headers and help.

Tip: If a list item starts with a symbol, (such as ▲∆▼■□♥)

then you should copy that symbol as the first character for your translated line item

so that conditional formatting will work the same as the English list item.
