Here’s an example of how you can translate the benefits life event name and life event instruction text.

  1. Got to Benefits Administration > Plan Configuration > Task List > Benefit Life Events.
  2. Search for and open the Life Event that you want to translate.
  3. On the Life Event page, click the Translation Editor icon located next to the Save button.
  4. Do these in the translation editor window. All fields shown within the translation editor window must be completed for each selected language.
    1. Enter the translated Life Event Name in the Name field for the selected language.  
    2. Enter the translated Instruction Text in the Life Event Instruction Text field for the selected language.
  5. Click OK to confirm your entries.
  6. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

  • Fast Formulas and DBI will continue to use and support English names only.
  • If translations are no longer needed, you may replace the translated text with the base language text to remove them.
  • Translated values are retained and included during plan copy.
  • The Translation Editor is disabled during update and correction modes.
  • When multiple languages share the same source language, all applicable language entries are updated together.
  • If an editable field is updated on the main page, the change is reflected in the translation editor window.
