Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Faik,

You can add 2 or 3 custom data items as RUS1 and RUS2. Every item will give you 20 characters to add. If you want to show in reports you can show in layout view or in other reports. It will be easy for you just to import the descriptions.

EX:
RUSS1-FLOOR RUSS2-BLOCK RUSS3-WORKTYPE (depends on your WBS)

Dear Safak

The problem is we have to present our schedules in both languages in Russian and English. I use log for russian part but log is also not enough for russian translation. that is the problem.

Dear Faik,

If you can divide the description in parts in a logical way, then you can add a activity code for the un-fit parts of the description and then you can show on the bar chart view as the columns next to activity description. Or you can add Logs to the activities.

Regards,

Safak
