Workitem List Translation

[wf03tg@optonline.net]

Kjetil and Mike, 

Thanks a lot for sharing your translation experience with me. As suggested, I have checked out the 'translate to logon language' check box on workflow setting - IT HELPED! The Workitem Titles  appear now in the agent's logon language, regardless whether they were created under French or English languages.

However, the dynamic column data (based on object attribute defined on a fixed values table) still does not show up in French, as well as some column headers, even though the translation seems to be in place (for appropriate table entries at least). Not sure what I am missing here. I am going to debug the object type for those attributes ... but that might not explain why they are not translated to French, or calculated in French. 

Thanks again for much appreciated hints,
Thad
