Exporting Text Strings and Locale-Specific Attributes

You use the Locale Management Utility to export strings and other locale-specific attributes to an external file. The file type of the external file can be .slf, .txt, or .xlf depending on what you export.

NOTE:  Microsoft Excel.xls files are not accepted by the LMU utility.

To export strings and other locale-specific attributes

1. Choose Tools > Utilities > Locale Management.

   The Locale Management Utility appears.

2. In the Options tab, under Languages, select the Source and Target Languages.

   NOTE:  When exporting strings and other locale-specific attributes, be sure that your Tools language mode and the LMU source language are the same.

3. Under Objects, select the applications or projects that you want to export.
4. Click the Export Tab.
5. Select whether you want to export string attributes only or all localizable attributes.

   All localizable attribute includes translatable strings and other locale-specific attributes, such as the width and height of controls. These attributes might be different for different locales.

6. Click Export.

   The Save As dialog box appears.

7. Choose the directory to which to export the files, for example SIEBEL_TOOLS_ROOT\OBJECTS\lang_code, where lang_code is the LMU target language.
8. Enter a file name, choose a file type, and then click Save.
   • If you have selected All localizable attributes, the available file type is .slf.
   • If you have selected String attributes only, the available file types are .txt or .xlf.
