Danny,
Once a language pack is loaded, you need to change your user preferences to that language. Then login again and navigate to database configuration / messages. Now change the text from the base language into the new language, upon save, Maximo will store the text into the l_messages table for that respective message/language (ownerid = maxmessageid). The same is true for field labels in Application Designer. I think this is very difficult to do through the UI for an administrator that doesn't know the language.

Subject: Is Message Translation Possible Natively in Messages?
Hello MORE Maximo Community,
I would like a message to display in different languages depending upon the person.language selected in the Person record. Is there a way to define this natively in Messages in Database Configuration or would it need to be defined in the Automation Script? Thank you in advance.
