Hi RaulPersonally I would just do a direct translation and leave it at that, if a particular method of deprecation isn't supported in a country that uses a certain language then it is up to the implementation team to make sure that it is disabled or otherwise unused. You can always customize the label for your particular deployment if that's how you want to handle the situation but I think labels in the project should always just be direct translations.

Hi, I am translating a label that it does not make sense in Portuguese. Here is the problem. Double decline depreciatiion algorithm for fixed asset In Brazil, there is not a double depreciation. There is what is called a accelerated depreciation with a difference. Depending on how you setup your asset usage, there is a different coefficient. They can be 1.0 (regular), 1.5 and 2.0 Since it is an accounting expression, I do not know if I should leave it in English. So, the person needs to look what it means (very bad during a demo.) Or if I should translate to Portuguese with an explanation. Maybe a tool tip where I could put a warning, but then it would need to be implemented system wide. Is there away to suppress something to show if the system is setup for a certain language? I am sure every translation comes to this problem. But I am not aware the solution. Please advise. Raul
