Change Made in the Default Screen
Action in Translated Screen
Add a field
The field is added to the bottom.
Delete a field
Text is added to the translated screen telling you that a field was deleted. You will need to delete this inserted text from the translated screen.
Add an answer
The answer is added. All translations use the default answer until you translate the answer for each language.
Delete an answer
The answer in the same position is deleted.
Reorder answers
Answers are reordered identically.
Add text
Text added to the Default is added to languages that are not translated.
Delete text
Text is deleted from languages that are not translated.

What You Can Change in a Translated Screen

You can only change text within the Instruction, Prompt, Title, and Answers areas. You can also change the layout of information within the translation screen. For example, you can place two bulleted items in default screen within a table in the translation screen.
You cannot change text that is part of the guide. Examples are "Instructions", "Restart", "History", and so on.
Behind the scenes,
Application Integration
keeps the default and all translated screens synchronized, ensuring that the basic structure between the default and all translated screens is maintained. It prevents you from changing the step type, adding a field, or reordering answers by not allowing you to use them. You are prevented from some actions by controls not being selectable. However, you can still accidentally delete a field or an answer. If you do delete a field or answer, Guide Designer displays an error box and reinserts what was deleted and tells you it did this. If there is text associated with something you accidentally deleted, the information from the Default is copied. For example, if you had removed an answer, Guide Designer inserts the text of the answer that was in the default into the translated screen.

Simulating a Translated Screen

To view how a user will see a translated screen, perform the following steps:
  1. Go to
    Actions
    Select Language
    .
  2. On the canvas, select the step you want to view.
  3. From the
    Simulate
    list at the top of the page, select

What Do End Users Do to Select a Translated Guide?

End users do not need to select a translated guide.
Application Integration
uses the browser locale to select a language to display.
Salesforce only
: Salesforce users are always associated with a language. Depending upon which version of Salesforce you are using, you can see this setting within the Personal Information section of "My Personal Information" or within the Languages & Time Zone section of "My Settings | Personal". Guide Designer checks this value and if a translated guide exists for that language, it displays that guide.
