Customizing the Name of a Portlet for a Language

Consider the example of localizing WebSynergy to French. In this case, name of the Admin portlet translates as Administration du portail. You may not find this appropriate, and may want to have a customized name for the Admin portlet when WebSynergy is localized to French. You can customize the name of a portlet for any language by using the Look and Feel button on a portlet.

To Customize the Name of a Portlet for a Language

1. Login the WebSynergy as admin user.

   In this example, click on the Look and Feel button on the Admin portlet.
