Localization Completeness
Experimental Feature
Localization Completeness is an experimental feature. It is off until enableLocalizationValidations is enabled. Its checks and the language panel may change in future releases.
Localization Completeness builds on Language usage. The overview lists the languages your organization uses. These checks say whether each language is set up, and they let an organization administrator change an unsupported interface language.
Workspace administrators see the same checks for a workspace they manage.
Language Status
Open Settings > Localization. Each language shows one status:
- Error. The language is not supported as an interface language. People see English (US) instead.
- Warning. The language needs a change. For example, it is set as the metadata language, but the metadata is not translated, so original names show.
- No action needed.
The organization default interface language is tagged Default.
When a language needs attention, Settings shows a dot on Localization.
Language Panel
Select a language to open its panel. Details shows where the language is used. Validations lists each problem, the workspaces and users it affects, and how to fix it.
Change an Unsupported Interface Language
On an unsupported interface language, Change interface language suggests a supported replacement. For example, it can suggest Spanish (Latin America) when the current code is es-MX. The list contains only languages GoodData supports.
Choose the workspaces to update. If the unsupported language is the organization default, the dialog includes that default, and workspaces that inherit it follow the new language.
GoodData applies the change to one workspace at a time. The dialog has no undo.
Missing Translations
A warning can mean that no metadata translation exists for the language, or that only some texts are translated. The panel can list the objects that are missing a translation. You need permission to manage the workspace to see that list.
Other translation problems link to the documentation for setting the metadata language and for translating metadata.
In a Workspace
A workspace Settings page shows the same status and checks for that workspace.
Metadata translated shows how many metadata texts are translated out of all texts. The count includes texts inherited from a parent workspace. The panel can list the objects that still have no translation.
Language Cards
The Interface, Metadata, and Data language cards show the language name and one action.
