From this screen you can:

• Review the multilingual information associated with a field.

• Change the multilingual information associated with a field. Use the CHANGE key to place the screen in change mode and make the desired changes.

This panel will be repeated for each language group i.e. all LRTB (Latin languages), DBCS (Ideographic or Double Byte Character Set languages) and RLTB (Bi-directional languages).
