Translations (Candidacy)

From the menu on the left, select “Translation.” This will give you an overview of all the translation keys which are available under your organization and for the specific candidacy event. This is a tool which allows you to create individual translations for the specific candidacy site. You can use this to label functionalities available in your candidacy so that all end-users may understand them.

On this page, you can change and update translations in all available languages which will have an impact only on your current candidacy. If you wish to make changes to all other candidacies and/or elections in your organization, please read more here.

In the “Translations” tab, you have an overview of all translation keys available for the candidacy. On this page, you can create individual translations for the candidacy site which will only be visible in this specific candidacy.

Any new translation which is created or updated will automatically be categorized as a “Candidacy” (to refer to Candidacy) translation. This also means that you will be able to see the different translations for one specific translation key:

• “Default,” the one created by the system

• “Organisation,” the one created by the admin or organization owners/managers which is available and applicable to the entire organization. You can read more about this here.

• “Candidacy,” the one that is just created for this specific candidacy.

By default, the system will use the newest translation created. This means that the active translation for your election will be the one lowest on the list, as shown below:
