How to translate business data

Hi,

I would like to ask about translation options for business data (basic data / code lists) in IFS Cloud.

These values cannot be translated using Translatable Text, as they are not UI labels but internal business data (for example data maintained in Maintenance → Basic Data, such as Incomplete Causes).

Currently, there is no standard way to maintain translations for these values per language, and the only workaround is to store multiple languages directly in the description (e.g. using / or -), which is not ideal.

As we have several such code lists in the system, I would like to ask whether there is any standard or recommended approach in IFS to translate business data values per user language.

Any guidance or best practice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

This is a topic on 26R1 Roadmap, although no specific lists are mentioned there
