To Localize an Existing Action

  1. Create a file in the appropriate language-dependent directory (for example, in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/japanese) .

  2. Copy the action definition to the language-dependent configuration file.

    For example, you might copy an action definition from

    	app_root/dt/appconfig/types/C/file.dt

    to

    	app_root/dt/appconfig/types/japanese/newfile.dt
  3. Add a LABEL field or modify the existing LABEL field.

    	LABEL			string
    

    Application Manager and File Manager use the label string to identify the action's icon.

  4. Localize any of the following fields in the action definition:

    • For localized icons: ICON

    • For localized On Item help: DESCRIPTION

    • For localized prompts: any quoted text in the EXEC_STRING
