Setting Up Multiple Language Tab Labels in EspoCRM

EspoCRM allows you to customize tab labels for different languages by leveraging language files. This feature is particularly useful for businesses operating in multilingual environments. Here’s how you can set it up:

Steps to Configure Tab Labels

• Use the Dollar Sign Prefix: Begin your tab label with a dollar sign ($) to indicate that the label should be fetched from the language file. For example, $newTab.
• Edit the Language File: Navigate to the language file for your target language. The path is typically: custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/i18n/YOUR_LANGUAGE/Global.json.
• Define the Tab Label: Inside the language file, add the tab label under the tabs category. For example:

  {
      tabs: {
          "newTab": "NewTab"
      }
  }

• Save and Refresh: Save the changes to the language file and clear cache in your EspoCRM to see the updated tab label.

Best Practices

• Ensure consistency in naming conventions for tab labels across all language files.
• Test the changes in a staging environment before deploying to production.
• Keep backups of your language files to avoid data loss.
