Language administration (IRPCLanguagesAdmin)

View as Markdown

Adds, modifies and removes the languages of a vault, and reads and writes the translations of its metadata structure names.

Use this interface to add, modify and delete languages in a vault.

Overview

A vault has a default language (ID 0) and can have additional languages. The names of the metadata structure (classes, property definitions, value lists, views, workflows, named ACLs, ...) can be translated to each language; users see the names in their session language. M-Files Admin uses this service to manage the languages and translations of a vault.

• Session and rights. Requires a vault session with the vault rights change_metadata_structure and license_allows_modifications (VaultAccess). Reading and writing translations also needs see_all_objects.
• License. Adding and modifying languages and applying translations fail when the server's license does not include the languages feature.
• List the languages with GetLanguages; this service has no read method for them.
• Translate the vault: GetTranslations with the default language as source and the target language, fill in target_string and set state to TRANSLATION_STATE_TRANSLATED, then ApplyTranslations.
