Translating Resolutions, Priorities, Statuses and Issue Types

Translating an issue constant

Each issue constant can be configured to have a translation set for each available language in your JIRA system. If no translation has been configured for a particular language, the default issue constant name and description are displayed.

To translated issue type constants:

1. Log in as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
2. Click the Translate  link located on the issue constant management page — i.e.
   
   • the Manage Issue Types page (for standard issue types - click any of the Translate links),
   • the Sub Tasks page (for sub-task issue types),
   • the View Statuses page,
   • the View Resolutions page or
   • the View Priorities page.
   The relevant issue constant Translation page displays the translation set for the currently selected language.
3. To view/update a translation set for a specific language, select the required language from the View Language Translations list at the top of the page and click the View button.
   
   A translated name and description set can be specified for each type of issue constant.
4. Once all translations have been entered, the translation set can be saved by clicking the Update button at the end of the page.
   Note that:
   
   • The process can be repeated for all of the issue constants — i.e. Issue Type, Status, Resolution and Priority fields.
   • The translated issue constant name and description will be displayed throughout JIRA, e.g. in reports, gadgets and all issue views.
     

The default issue constant name and description are displayed if a translation has not been specified.
