Localization examples

Entity item on home screen

In this example, we rename the title and subtitle of an entity on home screen, add a custom icon for the item.

1. In Woodford, edit the home screen. Select the entity and click Rename. Use a unique one-word string, for example, "CustomAccount".
   
2. Select Design > Localization from the Administrator menu and edit a language, Click Add to add a new localization string. As the ID, use "HomeTitle.HomeItemName"; in this particular example, "HomeTitle.CustomAccount". Add another string for HomeSubTitle.CustomAccount.
   
3. If you want to change the icon of the home screen item, select Design > Images from the Administrator menu. Go to the Home directory and click Add to add a new image. As the image name, use the name you used in step 1, for example "CustomAccount".
   

Hub item on home screen

In this example, we create a new hub, add it to the home screen with a custom label and icon.

2. Go to Components > Home screen and add the new hub to your home.
3. Go to Design > Localization and add new strings. As the ID, use "myHub" for the title and "myHub.SubTitle" for the subtitle.

1. In Woodford, go to Entities > Contact, click Show UI, and create a new view. Give it a unique, one-worded name, for example "USContacts".
2. Go to Design > Localization, find the string for this new view and click Edit Project to enter a localized label.
