Manage Localization

Add, apply, and remove localization files for the Bold BI application.

Localization involves adapting a website into different linguistic and cultural contexts, which goes beyond simple text translation.

  1. Go to the Site Settings page and click on the Manage option.

    Manage-option

  2. In the Manage Language dialog box, click the Add Language button to upload the language file.

    Upload-dialog-box

  3. Choose the language from the dropdown and select the file to upload. The zip file should have the correct structure. See Localization file structure for the valid file structure.

    Localization-select-file

  4. After uploading the file, Click Upload, and the language will be added to the application.

    Localization-dialog-box

Note: The file should include all the Bold BI service folders and message.po for all services.

Localization file structure

  1. Create application folders with the following names for each service:

    • bi
    • bi-dataservice
    • ums

    Localization-file-structure

  2. To create a locale file messages.po from messages.pot, you can either use manual editing or an online tool for the BI and UMS services. See How to generate the localization file for another language for instructions.

  3. To create a locale file messages.po from default.po you can either use manual editing or an online tool for the Designer service. See How to generate the localization file for another language for instructions.

  4. After completing the above steps, please convert the service folders into a zip file and upload them to the application.
