[LegacyUG] Where to enter vital record translations?
Hello, I have vital records for my ancestors that are written in German and wish to enter a translation of the documents. Where is the appropriate/usual place to enter the translation, in the Event notes or the source text.

Brian, I doubt if there is an appropriate/usual place so, like many instances, the choice is yours. I would be tempted to put them in Event Notes as they will be more available and more prominent in reports etc. if included there, and I prefer to keep my Sources short. But, that is only my choice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to enter vital record translations?
I have tons of German vital records. I personally don't translate anything because I am fluent in German.If I were to make an English transcription, I would do it under the source screens. There is a place for this there. On the source screen you have 5 tabs Source info - this is where you type in your source identifiers Text/Comments - this is where you would put your transcription [I would do it in German and English, not just English] Multimedia - this is where you attach a pdf or jpg of the document itself Override - this is if you want your output (footnotes, endnotes) formatted differently than what Legacy automatically does Also, if you are not doing the translating yourself, I would document WHO translated it for you.
