Yes, I was calling a Stored Procedure to get a translation for the
original value of that column.
Could you give me some hints on how I could do the following in SA.
- define a column as I18N (actual value is a varchar)
- when the column is read take the value from the table column, do a
lookup with it in the i18n translation table with a stored procedure and
either return what was found or the original value
- the column should ideally be read only
- to be able to maintain the column I was thinking of setting up a
second model for the same table where the i18n column would be defined
as varchar to allow to set the value to be translated
I would really appreciate if you could push me in the right direction on
this.
Thanks and best regards
Werner
