How to Install Custom Translations

The language files are in the languages subdirectory of the WebCenter installation on the Web Server, such as \Artios\WebCenter\WebServer\tomcat\webapps\<site name>\languages.

They are named wcstrings_xx.xml where xx is a two-letter code for the language, for example en for English, fr for French, and de for German.

  1. Copy one of the existing language files, and rename the copy changing the two-letter language code to the new language code.
    Note: The language code must match the official list of two-letter ISO 639-1 codes at http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html. For example, a Danish language word strings file would be named wcstrings_da.xml.
  2. Translate the strings in the file.
  3. On the Web Server, open \Artios\WebCenter\WebServer\tomcat\webapps\WebCenter_instance\config\config.xml in a text editor or an XML editor. In the Languages section of the file, add a key for the new language, for example <Language key=”da”/> for a Danish translation.
  4. Put the translated language file in the languages subdirectory of the WebCenter installation.
  5. Open every other wcstrings_xx.xml file and add a <NLanguage_xx>Language</NLanguage_xx> string after the strings for the existing languages.

    For example, add the string <NLanguage_da>Danish</NLanguage_da> to install a Danish strings file, substituting the word for Danish in the appropriate language for the string file.

  6. If the chosen language is a multi-byte language (such as Japanese, Chinese, or Thai), log on to the Application Server and edit \Artios\WebCenter\config\appconfig.xml. Change the value in the index_lang field to the appropriate language code that is listed in the comment below the field, and save the file.
  7. Restart the Web Server to see the changes.
