Translation of customfields to another language as we can do it for issuetypes

[Christophe Leite]

Hi,

Is this possible to translate the name of customfields to another language (french for me), as we can do it for the issuetypes ? (in the issue menu, then issuetype there is an option 'Translate' at the end of line for each issuetype)

If it is possible, can I modify by this way the translation of 'Components' (system customfield of JIRA) ? if not, I should use the method described in https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Customizing+Text

Thanks a lot,

Christophe

Please also note that link provided by Timothy is for JIRA 6. It is not possible to translate custom fields in JIRA 5. Custom fields translation mechanism is not a part of standard i18n mechanism so you cannot use method described in the following link: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Customizing+Text (custom fields translations are not stored in and read from i18n resources). Cheers, Jacek
