SLS and Design Object Strings

Request Center Strings

Strings in the Request Center category on the Values page are available for translation after you install SSM. You do not need to re-deploy any of the SSM process apps to start translating these strings.

Modify strings in the SRC category if you want to override the default labels, messages, and fields for SRC that are not user-defined. Customizable strings include:

• Static page headers
• Static toolbar, button, and control labels
• Hover text for static elements
• Error and warning messages
• Tab names for the legacy Approvals, Requests, and Knowledge tabs (available in the main section

Request Center (User Defined Objects)

Strings in the Request Center (User Defined Objects) category are available for translation after you install SSM. You do not need to re-deploy any of the SSM process apps to start translating these strings.

Strings available for localization are listed below, followed by the corresponding section in Application Administrator in parenthesis.

Categories and Category Containers

• Name (SRC Category Name)
• Description (SRC Category Description)

Services

• Name (SRC Service Name)
• Description (SRC Service Description)
• Summary (SRC Service Summary)
• Charge back (SRC Service Property "chargeback")
• SLA summary / Alternative SLA summary (SRC Service Property "service level")

Request Center Properties

• Banner title (SRC Catalog property "title")
• Contact info title (SRC Catalog property "contactinfo_title")
• Contact info content (SRC Catalog property "contactinfo_content")

When you add custom tabs and custom sections, additional strings appear for each new element. For example:

• SRC Catalog property "tab_1_title"
• SRC Catalog property "tab_2_title"
• SRC Catalog property "block_1_title"
• SRC Catalog property "block_2_title"

By default, the tab strings correspond to the new Approvals and Requests tabs that were added in SSM 5.2.2. The blocks correspond to each custom section that you add to the Request Center Catalog.

To identify the tab title in SRC that matches the tab title number in Application Administrator, refer to the tab number that appears in the SRC browser address bar after the hash tag. For example, if you add a custom tab for a report, and you are using the Approvals and Requests tabs that were added in SSM 5.2.2, the browser address bar shows:

http://serverName/tmtrack/tmtrack.dll?shell=srp#tab_3

In Application Administrator, you can translate the title for this new tab by overriding the value for SRC Catalog property "tab_3_title".

Knowledge Management Strings

When you select Allow Translation for MLS Runtime Objects and Design Objects on the Values tab and you re-deploy the Knowledge Management app, each primary table and auxiliary table in the process app appears as a category on the Localization page. Design object strings are organized by section in the following categories:

• KM Visibility Group
• Knowledge Management
• KM Categories

Customizable Knowledge Management strings that you can translate include:

• Name and Help Text for workflows, states, transitions, fields.
• Field selections
• Form strings (displayed on custom forms)
• Labels associated with tables (displayed on quick forms)
• Name, description, and tab name for applications
• Name, description, and singular name for tables
• Workflow annotation and swimlanes in the workflow diagram
  Important: Translated strings appear in the diagram only if you have enabled HTML5 features in SBM.

When you edit a custom form in SBM Composer, you can view a list of the text field strings that are used by form actions to set values. When you deploy or promote the Knowledge Management process app, these strings are available for translation as well.

To view these strings in SBM Composer:

1. In SBM Composer, open the Knowledge Management process app and select a custom form.
2. Open the Property Editor.
3. In the Filter drop-down list, select Container Controls.
4. In the list of containers, select the TranslatableStrings expander.
