Customizing Language Pack Files

You can edit the existing messages and other text information displayed in User Interface for a certain language. You may also add localization for your custom menu items created in POA to the Language pack files.

To customize a Language pack file, perform the following steps:

1. Go to Top > System Director > Configuration Manager > Internationalization & Localization.
2. Click the name of the locale you wish to customize the entries for.
3. Download the Language pack file you wish to customize.
   • To customize a file from a standard POA LP package, move to the Source Local Files tab and click the Download link for the file you wish to customize.
   • To customize a file from your custom Language pack, move to the Customized Locale Files tab and click the Download link for the file you wish to customize.
4. Save the file in your local file system.
5. Edit the saved file as desired.

   The structure of the locale entries in the XML file is as follows:

   <entry>

   <keyword>ADD_NEW_PRODUCT.CAPTION</keyword>

   <phrase>Ajouter un nouveau produit</phrase>

   <comment></comment>

   </entry>

   To edit the file, perform either of the operations:

   • To edit a locale entry, replace the value in the <phrase> field with the desired value.
   • To add a new entry to the locale, add an entry unit in the same format in any part of the file, specify the locale key in the <keyword> field and the key value in the <phrase> field.
6. Save the file.
7. Move to the Customized Local Files tab on the locale management screen in POA.
8. Click Add, browse for the edited file and click Submit.

The changes you have made will be visible at your next login to the system.
