Inheritance of Translations

Dear team, 

It would be very nice to be able to inherit the translations of column names from the parent class / process. 

The best way is:

1.) When a new child is created  to inherit all the column name translations. 

2.) When the parent translation is updated to update translation of the inherited column name in all child classes / processes that match the original parent translation (not if the translation differs from the original translation).

The same principal could be applied to the "Default" translation too.

Please consider this suggestion for some of the future version. 

Thanks and regards,
Jiří

  

Dear Jiří,

you are right that translations are currently not physically inherited on the subclasses. However, if the translation of an attribute of a subclass is blank, the system will look for possible translations in the superclasses. So when you are in the management module, you should anyway see the translations of the attributes of the subclass even if the translations are present in the superclass only.

Thanks for explanation - I have minimum of experiences with translation of defined attributes. So, this behavior is OK for me. Good work!
 
Best regards,
