Translating New Views Created Using the View Definition Wizard

If you have created new views with the View Definition Wizard, you can make these views available in multiple languages.

To translate new views:

  1. Create the view in English using the View Definition Wizard.
  2. Select the System / Localization Manager / Read or Write Translatable Files task to read strings from the .axvw file for your new view into the Localization tables. See Read or Write Translatable Files.
  3. Enter the translations for the English string in the target language using the Edit Language Strings Table task. See Editing the Language Strings Table.

    Note: This view will have only your new strings, as the localization tables in production databases are shipped blank.

  4. Write the new strings to the application.lang file for the target language (for example, schema-fr.lang). See Reading or Writing Translatable Files.


    Note that all translatable text must be in "XML-safe" format. For example, double-quote (") characters are not allowed in translatable text. Single quotes are allowed.

    Note: When writing the files, in the "When Writing" section of the form, select "Add new activity strings to existing language file", as your localization tables have only the strings for your new view.
