Localizing Siebel Analytics Web Catalog Text Strings

For organizations that need to localize text strings in the Web Catalog, this section explains how to export the text strings for translation, and then expose them when translation is complete. You and your localization team are responsible for escaping characters properly and resolving any errors in the translated text strings.

The export process is based on Extensible Markup Language (XML). The export process creates one XML file for every first-level subfolder in the shared folder, in the format foldernameCaptions.xml, where foldername is the name of the subfolder in the shared folder. Each XML file contains the text strings for all content in the corresponding first-level folder and its subfolders.

For example, if the shared folder in the Web Catalog contains the first-level folders Marketing, Service, and Sales, then the export process creates three XML files:

• MarketingCaptions.xml
• ServiceCaptions.xml
• SalesCaptions.xml

After the content is translated, you will place these folders in the SiebelAnalyticsData directory. Their content is loaded when Siebel Analytics Web is started.

To export Web Catalog text strings

1. Stop the Analytics Web Server service.
2. Use Analytics Catalog Manager to open the Web Catalog that contains the text strings to be localized, and then choose Tools > Localization > Export.
3. Browse to select the location in which to write the output, and then click OK.

   The export process may take several minutes.

4. Save the Web Catalog when prompted.
5. When the export process is complete, deliver the output file to your localization team.

   You may need to make a copy of every output file for each language to be translated.

   You can now restart the Analytics Web Server service and resume using Siebel Analytics Web.

To expose Web Catalog text strings

1. Place the translated XML files into their corresponding location in the SiebelAnalyticsData directory:

   SiebelAnalyticsData\Web\Res\l_xx\Captions

   where xx is the language extension, as shown in the following table.

   Language Extension	Language
   cs	Czech
   da	Danish
   de	German
   en	English
   es	Spanish
   fi	Finnish
   fr	French

   ko	Korean
   nl	Dutch
   pt	Portuguese
   pt-br	Brazilian Portuguese
   sv	Swedish
   zh	Chinese (Simplified)

2. Restart the Analytics Web Server service to make the translated content available.
