You can use the Localize <Strings> window to translate the certain database strings that appear throughout the GE Digital APM, where <Strings> indicates which string will be translated. When you translate a string in this way, you are creating a custom database string translation and adding it to a custom database string translation file.
The button appears throughout the GE Digital APM. This button typically appear to the right side of text boxes in which you will type the string that you want to translate. The string that is displayed in that text box will always be the default string (i.e., the language in which it will appear). If you see this button, you can translate that string. This button provide access to the Localize <Strings> window.
The title bar on the Localize <Strings> window will vary depending on your access point. For example, if you access the Localize <Strings> window from a Caption box for the Action family in the Configuration Manager, the title bar will contain Localize Action, where Action is the caption of the Action family.
The Localize <Strings> window contains the following items:
Default Value: A text box that contains the default string that was originally written and for which you can provide translations.
Culture: Contains the names of the languages whose database string translation file (custom or baseline) contains a translation for the default string. Each Culture cell contains a list of all the languages that are available in the GE Digital APM system. You can select from this list the name of the language into which you want to translate the default string.
Value: Contains the translated string for the language that appears in the Culture cell in that row. This value is determined by the string that exists in either the custom or baseline database string translation files that are stored in the GE Digital APM. You can enter a value directly in the Value cell. The combination of the translated string in the Value cell and the language specified in the Culture cell in that row make up the translation for the default string.
Note: If you create a custom database string translation for a language that is not currently available in GE Digital APM, a custom database string translation file will be created for that language automatically. Additionally, GE Digital APM will display any database string translation that exists in that file if your GE Digital APM Culture setting corresponds to the translation file that is stored in the GE Digital APM.
