Using the LMU to Replace Strings

---

You can use the LMU to replace strings in a bulk mode. For example, suppose that you need change occurrences of Accounts to Companies for the English locale. You can use the LMU to export the strings to a file, manipulate the file so that it only contains the strings you want to replace, and then supply Companies as the string to replace Account. When using the LMU to replace strings, the source and target language are the same.

To use the LMU to replace strings

Identify the applications and/or projects to which the strings belong.
Export the strings you want to replace to an LMU file.

Use the procedure described in Exporting Strings and Other Locale-Specific Attributes.

Remove strings from the LMU file that you do not want to replace.
In the Target String column of the LMU file, enter the string that you want to substitute for the original value.
Use the LMU to import the LMU file.
Select source and target language (both are the same).
Navigate to Import tab and specify the LMU file path.
Click Import to replace the strings.
