If you sell goods internationally, you will certainly need to translate the names or descriptions of your items. ABRA Flexi allows you to add such translations — and not only for price list items. The translation option is also available in other code lists used in documents.

First, you need to configure which languages you want to use. The company settings allow you to define up to four languages. You can then select from these languages at the individual code list level and create translations accordingly.

An advanced parameter can be used to allow users to change the four predefined languages. The XML file is available for download here. Without the advanced parameter, changing languages is not possible.

Import the XML file in the "Advanced Features" section of the web interface, or via the XML import in the desktop application ("Tools - Import - Import from XML").

Let's start with an example using the price list. When creating a new price list item, you fill in the name or description in the primary language first.

Using the "+" button, you can easily expand the field to show additional languages as well.

Once expanded, the application allows you to enter a translation for each language. The languages offered by the application are determined by the company settings.

Once you have configured the translations as needed, you can proceed to print a document containing these items, initiating the translation into another language.

Before doing so, it is worth noting that the price list is not the only code list whose fields can be translated in the way described above. Translation options are available throughout the application.

You will find the same translation option in the following areas in particular:

We will demonstrate with an issued invoice. We will create an issued invoice, add the relevant price list item, and trigger printing in the desired language — in our case, English (documentation — web / desktop application).

After selecting the desired print template and choosing the language, you can confirm your selection, which will generate the print report. The report will display the translated name of the item.

At first glance, however, you may notice that some fields are not yet translated — such as the print template name, the country, or the payment method. These code lists can also be translated manually.

In this case, you would set the appropriate translation at the level of the document type (web / desktop application), payment method (web / desktop application), and country. The result will be a fully translated document.

Absolutely — however, it requires customization of the print template. Print templates are primarily translated for CZ, SK, DE, and EN only. You would need to provide the translation and we would incorporate it on our end. The work typically takes between 1 and 2 hours.

Yes, you can find a wide selection among the add-ons on our website.

Individual translations can be set up as attributes (web / desktop application). On our end, the print template can then be customized to ensure the corresponding names are reflected in the printed output.
