Translated Item Attributes
This section allows businesses to maintain purchasing documents in languages other than the base language of the document. For instance, you can create a Blanket Purchase Agreement in English but provide a French translation for the Item Description, which is then used when printing or viewing the document in a French context.
Examples only highlight critical fields.

The Translation Item Attributes section is dependent on the lines, so an upload action at the line level is necessary for this record to be created.
The first row should always be the base language followed by other languages. This avoids the following error 'PO_PDOI_NO_TLP_IN_CREATE_LANG'. You can’t provide translations for item descriptors because the descriptor doesn’t exist in the base language.
NB: Only the creation action is supported for this section. You can only download the language that you have set in Language Preferences.
