Compiling in Advanced Mode

The Advanced Compile option in Siebel Tools prefixes strings with characters to make the strings easier to find, and inserts dummy strings where translations are missing. These procedures are optional: you can use one or both of them.

CAUTION:  Before compiling in advanced mode, make a backup copy of your SRF file.

To compile in advanced mode

1. While holding down the SHIFT key, choose Compile Projects from the Tools menu.

   The Object Compiler dialog box appears with the Advanced button visible.
2. Click Advanced.
3. The Advanced Options dialog box appears.
4. Select the desired options:
   • Enable pseudo-localization. Adds prefixes to strings. Optional.
   • Pseudo-localization prefix. Type the characters with which to prefix strings if pseudolocalization is enabled.

     NOTE:  If testing a language with characters particular to it, you should include one or more of those characters.

   • For missing translations, show LANG_CODE + object name. Inserts dummy strings for missing translations. Optional.
5. Click OK.
6. In the Object Compiler dialog box, select the projects to compile.
7. Choose an SRF file to which to compile. This should be the language SRF that you wish to test.
8. Click Compile.
