Alternate Language Description Maintenance - Launch

Program/Screen: CXALTM/CXALTM10

Description:

Use this screen to launch the Alternate Language Description Maintenance program where you enter one or more alternate language translations for system key fields and miscellaneous codes for when they show up in Search windows.  For example, certain miscellaneous codes are hard-coded in the system in English (ENU).  Use this program to translate those codes into the languages used by your organization, so that when users press F4 in a program to see a list of available codes, they see the code descriptions in their own language.
