About translation in Jira

In this post we wanna examine some aspect about translation. In this case we are not talking about translation from English to Italian (for example) , but about English UK and English USA. Let me introduce this situation.

Scenario

We know this: there are differences about English UK and English USA. Sometimes those differences may cause some problems. During a phase of Jira Project Import I got this error:

First action was: check custom fields and this is the result:

Do you see the problem?

The answer is: YES. Colour in English UK . Color in English USA.

Ok. How we can solve this?

Solution is easy: Change field name. This solve the problem.  However, Field is LOCKED.  Well, there is a solution for all 😀

Just using this KB of Atlassian Jira to unlock (just execute some query or use your favorite SQL client program)

After this, just rename the field and start import again.
