Write Strings out of Glossary

Execute this step once for every language to write the newly imported strings into the localization tables and to write the translated glossary strings back to the lang_files, lang_strings, and lang_enum localization tables, ensuring that you only write them back for those records that do not yet have translated values:

1. From the Language list, select the target language. See Edit the Languages Table .

2. Select Include only strings requiring translation.

3. Click the Write String out of Glossary button.

4. When the writing is completed, the Tables affected by write section shows the number of records written.

Write Tables

This step needs to be executed once for every language to write any new translated strings into the corresponding tables in the system.

The user has the option to only update records in the glossary that do not have translations.

Extract Translation Tables

Export the translation data for the key tables in the Archibus database to Excel. A sample folder showing all the files can be found at:

projects\users\public\dt\v2023.03.002\translation\singlebyte

projects\users\public\dt\v2023.03.002\translation\doublebyte

projects\users\public\dt\v2023.03.002\translation\alllang

The export files need to include only the table key fields and the translation fields in all the respective languages. The singlebytefolder includes the table translations for German, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish. The doublebyte folder includes the table translations for Chinese (Simplified) and Japanese and the alllang folder includes the table translations for all languages.

Update Script Files with Translations

Update the translation script files to import the translation data for the key tables. The files can be found in the following folder:

projects\users\public\dt\v2023.03.002\translation

Write Files

This step needs to be executed once for every language to write any new translated strings into the corresponding files in the Web Central system.

The user has the option to delete and create new language files or to add any new application strings to the existing files.

Web Central Language Files

The Write Files task will create or update the language files in the following folders:

System Language Files

schema\ab-system\lang

JavaScript Language Files

schema\ab-core\controls\lang

Mobile JavaScript Language Files

schema\ab-products\common\mobile\src\Common\resources\language

The updated language files need to be merged with the latest Web Central development environment.
