You must add and populate a new language in a form before you can mark a string for translate.

To translate a string:

Open a form in the Maestro editor.
Select a component and open a rule that contains a text to be translated.
Select that text you want to be translated. and right click it.
Select Mark for Translation to open the Translation ID window.
Enter a unique ID for the selected text in the ID field.
Click OK to add a new entry, identified as emptytextwarning, to dictionaries of all configured languages for this form.
Find and edit the new entry with required translation. In this example, you need to translate Enter some value here into German language, which is Geben Sie hier einen Wert ein.
Open the rule that contains the marked text to see a token at the beginning of the string. In the code, you can still see the default value for your string, as well as the ID you've created: '~T~emptytextwarning~T~Enter some value here';.
Build and render the form with different languages to see the rule fires the correct translated values.
