Question
localize the drop down values from data table
Are the drop down values from the data table localizable meaning will they be translated when localized? Please share.

Hi Gyan,
If you are using Dropdown control, its configuration is referred to a property. Inside the Property definition, you can select 'Field Value' as the Table type. The Field Value will translate the value to whatever you put in the "To" field.
During the run time, the translated value will be displayed in the Dropdown list.

Hi Susan
The dropdown values are fetched from data table, not from the property,s field value.

Hi Gyan,
Which Pega release your application is on?
Can you provide a snapshot of your Dropdown configuration?

HI Susan,
my apology for delay. the dropdown values were fetched from data table via data page. i noticed that some words have already picked up translations, and i am assuming once other words go via translation, they also will pick up translation.

while fetching the values from data table we could attempt the following functions to localize the text...
- @Utilities.getLocalizedText(text,property,tools)
- @String.getLocalizedValue(aProp)
- tools.getLocalizedTextForString
