Hello Appian community,
I have a question regarding the implementation of a translation framework on record values in Appian. Currently, we are using database-backed records to store and display various referential data (such as status or list of values). I would like to apply a translation framework to dynamically translate these values into different languages when displaying a grid of record values.
I am concerned about having to create a complex a!match statement to connect these values with Translation Set entries.
Has anyone had experience with this or can provide guidance on the best practices for implementing such a solution using Translation Sets? Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

I try to not store reference values in the DB. Mostly because I need them in the application logic anyways, for assignment and comparison reasons. This means that I now have two places where I need to manage these values. So I stopped using the DB, and just work with constants.
But that does not solve the translation issue and I think that Mat's approach is a great option. And you can still use that reference record together with constants.
Thank you Stefan and excellent point, this approach works with constants as well!
So cool you started your blog :-) Subscribed!
