Issue Constant Translations

Further extending JIRA as an internationalisable issue manager, it is possible to specify
a translated name and description for each issue constant - i.e all Issue Type, Status, Resolution and
Priority fields.
This functionality allows the administrator to specify an issue constant translation set for each available locale -
providing each user with a more complete translation in their own chosen language. The translated issue constant
names and descriptions appear throughout JIRA; in reports, portlets and all issue views.
Issue Constant Translation
Each issue constant can be configured to have a translation set for each available locale. The default
issue constant name and description are displayed if no translation has been configured.
-
The issue constant translation operation is accessed through the Translate link located
on each issue constant management screen.
-
The issue constant translation screen displays the translation set for the currently selected locale.
In order to view/update a translation set for a specific locale, select the required locale from the
list at the top of the screen and click the View button.
-
The currently selected locale is displayed above the translation set table.
-
A translated name and description set can be specified for each type of issue constant. Once all
translations have been entered, the translation set can be saved by clicking the Update
button at the bottom of the translation table.
-
The process can be repeated for the all types of issue constants - i.e. Issue Type, Status, Resolution and
Priority fields.
-
The translated issue constant name and description will be displayed throughout JIRA; in reports,
portlets and all issue views.
Note
The default issue constant name and description are displayed if a translation has not been specified.
