Typical Entry

Messages are contained in key/text pairs and contain three parts:

• A text string, or key, that is an identifier used by the code to retrieve data. Do not translate this required component. This component is used in the product configuration, and acts as a placeholder for the translation.

• An equals (“=”) sign separating the key and text. This entry is required.

• A string containing data that is displayed when running the application. This entry is the translation, used in place of the key whenever the page is rendered in the browser.

Each line in the resource array contains two strings. Translate the second quoted string on each line.

Certain strings to be translated contain special codes for data that is inserted into the string when it is displayed. For example, if you have the following string to translate:

UI_USER_CONNECT={0}, connected at 100 mbs

the rendered version could appear as jfaux, connected at 100 mb

Translations typically appear inside a browser, so it is appropriate to add HTML tags to format the string, as shown below:

_FM_ACCOUNT_ID_HELP=<b>Account ID</b><br>Enter a name for this user. This field is required.
