Finding Untranslated Text Strings

You can use the Locale Management Utility to find text strings in the repository that Siebel CRM has not translated or to find text strings that Siebel Tools must retranslate because Siebel CRM modified the source string since the last translation. The Locale Management Utility searches or compares objects. It does not search or compare properties. If a locale object includes multiple string properties, then the search returns all strings that the locale object contains, even if only one of them is translated.

To find untranslated strings

1. Log in to Siebel Tools.
2. Choose the Tools menu, Utilities, and then click Locale Management.
3. In the Locale Management dialog box, in the Options tab, in the Languages section, choose the source language and the target language.
4. In the Objects section, choose the applications or projects that you must localize.
5. Click the Untranslated Strings tab.

   The Untranslated Strings tab includes an Attribute column. Siebel CRM uses the terms attribute and property. These terms have the same meaning.

6. (Optional) To display strings that are marked as Redo, make sure the following check box contains a check mark:

   Report String Attributes of Objects Marked With 'Redo' Fag

   For more information, see How the Locale Management Utility Indicates That Siebel CRM Modified a Record Since the Last Export.

7. Click Find Strings.

   The Locale Management Utility searches the properties of the string objects. It searches the objects that exist only in the application or project you choose. It displays object definitions that include strings that are not translated. If you choose to display Redo objects in Step 6, then it also displays the strings that you must retranslate.

8. (Optional) To do more, you can click the following buttons:
   • Find Views. Find the views that reference the untranslated strings.
   • Go To. You choose an object in the Results list, and then click Go To. The Object Explorer displays the object definition that includes the string.
   • Export. Export all untranslated strings to a file.
9. (Optional) Determine if an existing translation exists that you can use for the untranslated strings that the Locale Management Utility displays in Step 7.
