Visualforce Tabs in multi-language

Hi,

is there any way to let a visualforce tab showing different tab name in different language? standard and custom app can be easy achieve. but when I design a customer portal, I do need a multi-language supported tab.

Use Translation Workbench to translate web tab.

Yes you can do that !
There is a workaround for that.

Idea proposed by Mike Wishner

Go to

Administration Setup->Translation Workbench->Export
Select "Bilingual" and Click on "Export".
You will be notified via email
Follow that link and download the files,
Find the file to which you want to add the translation

Eg : Bilingual_th_2013-11-25 1234
      Here th refers to Thai.

Open the ".srt" file.

Search for the tab in the file which you want to translate
It will be in  "--------UNTRANSLATED-----------" Section

The format will be like "WebTab.VFTabName"
Cut the corresponding line and paste it in "--------TRANSLATED-----------" Section
and add the translation by giving a tab after the Tab Label.

 

Eg:WebTab.Custom_Label    Label Name.     ผู้สั่ง    -

Please note "-" is required at the end.
Save the file.

Now go to

Administration Setup->Translation Workbench->Import

choose the edited ".srt" file and click on Import.
Thats it !
The files will be updated and you can see the correstponding changes in the portal.
