Externalize Strings

This utility is primarily for use by translators to translate Presentation layer catalogs, tables, columns, and their descriptions. You can save these text strings to an external file with ANSI, Unicode, and UTF-8 coding options.

NOTE:  Before using this utility, translators should consult with Siebel Systems.

To translate a string

  1. Right-click on a Presentation Catalog in the Presentation layer and select the options Externalize Display Names and Externalize Descriptions.
  2. Start the Externalize Strings utility by selecting Tools > Utilities > Externalize Strings from the toolbar, and then click Execute.
  3. In the Externalize Strings dialog box, click a Presentation Catalog in the left pane.

    NOTE:  You can select all catalogs at once or select them individually and create a separate string file for each one.

    In the right pane, the translated values and the original strings (names) appear. These will be placed in session variables for use by Siebel Analytics Web.

  4. Click Save.
  5. In the Save As dialog box, choose a type of file and an Encoding value and click Save.
  6. In the Externalized Strings dialog box, click Close to end the utility.
