How-to: Translate using Mobile Messages

Description

Create multilingual customizations using Mobile Messages.

Use cases

Modify existing translations
Support multiple languages with your customization

Behavior on the device

The field "Language Code" on Mobile Users, determines what Mobile Messages are used.

Mobile Messages can be modified by code as we will do in this example.

Step 1 - Adding mobile message

Adding a Mobile Message and its translation
The _LanguageCode corresponds to Mobile Language

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Language", 'OnAddMessages', '', true, true)]

local procedure MyOnAddMessages(_LanguageCode: Code[10]; var _Messages: Record "MOB Message")

begin

if _LanguageCode = 'ENU' then

_Messages.Create('ENU', 'MYSIGNATUREHELPLABEL', 'Make sure to verify the picked items.'); // Create translation for my custom mobile message

end;

Step 2 - Using the mobile message as "label" on a step

Changing the "label" on Signature Step to use the new mobile message.

[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"MOB WMS Pick", 'OnPostPickOrder_OnAddStepsToAnyHeader', '', true, true)]

local procedure MyOnPostPickOrder_OnAddStepsToAnyHeader(var _OrderValues: Record "MOB Common Element"; _RecRef: RecordRef; var _StepsElement: Record "MOB Steps Element")

var

MobWmsLanguage: Codeunit "MOB WMS Language";

begin

// Break if new step is already collected to prevent infinite loop

if _OrderValues.HasValue('MySignatureStep') then

exit;

// Create a new Signature step

_StepsElement.Create_SignatureStep(10000, 'MySignatureStep');

_StepsElement.Set_helpLabel(MobWmsLanguage.GetMessage('MYSIGNATUREHELPLABEL')); // Set HelpLabel to use my custom mobile message
