Importing Text Strings and Locale Properties


You can use the Locale Management Utility to import translated strings and other locale properties into the repository. You can preview the import before the utility actually does the import.

To import text strings and locale properties

  1. Choose the Tools menu, Utilities, and then click Locale Management.
  2. In the Locale Management dialog box, in the Options tab, in the Languages section, choose the source language and the target language.
  3. Click the Import tab.
  4. Enter the name of the file that the utility must import.

    You can use the Browse button to choose the file. The default file name is one of the following:

    • Results.txt if the file includes strings only
    • Results.slf if the file includes all locale properties

      If you import an XML Localization Interchange Field file (.xlf), then make sure a working Internet connection exists during the import.

  5. (Optional) To preview the import, do the following:
    1. Enter the path and name of the file where the utility must store the results for previewing.

      The default file name is preview.log.

    2. Click Preview.

      The Locale Management Utility writes the results of the import to the log file. It does not write the results to the repository. It does not mark modified records with a Redo flag during preview.

  6. (Optional) To mark records that Siebel CRM modified since the export occurred, make sure the following check box contains a check mark:

    Mark Changed Records with Redo Flag

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

  7. Click Import.

    The utility imports the locale properties into the repository. It creates the following log file in the SIEBEL_TOOLS_ROOT\OBJECTS directory:

    LMUImportTruncation.log

    This file includes detailed information and error messages about records that the utility did not import.
