Translation

All reports are generally translated into the currently configured language of the program.

For marketing documents, the language of the business partner or language stored in the document is used.

The Beas report system can translate reports from every language into every language.

To this end, there is: a) A default translation table for sample reports b) A customer-specific translation table c) A report-specific translation table which is stored directly in the report If no translation is found, beas proceeds as follows: 1. Translation into German 2. Translation from German into target output language
