SLS and Design Object Strings

You can translate SLS design strings on the Values page in Application Administrator or you can export the strings to XML on the Export tab (under SLS/Design). Review the following sections for more information on each category of SLS 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:

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.

Remember: The Allow translation for MLS Runtime Objects and Design Objects check box must be selected for you to see the Request Center (User Defined Objects) category.

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

Request Center Properties

Tip: If the strings above are not visible under Request Center (User Defined Objects), try customizing the SRC properties (Customize | Request Center Properties) and then refreshing the view in Application Administrator.

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

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".

Tip: Note that if you delete the default Requests or Approvals tabs and add another tab, the new tab will reuse either the tab_1_title or tab_2_title section in Application Administrator.

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:

Customizable Knowledge Management strings that you can translate include:

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.
