Translating Resolutions, Priorities, Statuses and Issue Types

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 language - 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 language. The default issue constant name and description are displayed if no translation has been configured.

1. The issue constant translation operation is accessed through the Translate link located on each issue constant management screen.
   
2. The issue constant translation screen displays the translation set for the currently selected language. In order to view/update a translation set for a specific language, select the required language from the list at the top of the screen and click the View button.
   
3. The currently selected language is displayed above the translation set table.
4. 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.
5. The process can be repeated for the all types of issue constants - i.e. Issue Type, Status, Resolution and Priority fields.
6. The translated issue constant name and description will be displayed throughout JIRA; in reports, portlets and all issue views.
