Modifying the Value in All Strings for a Language

You can use the Locale Management Utility to replace strings in bulk. For example, you want to configure Siebel CRM to modify all text strings that include Accounts to Companies for the English locale. You can use the Locale Management Utility to export the strings to a file, modify the file so that it includes only Companies instead of Accounts, and then import these strings into the repository.

Using the Locale Management Utility to replace strings is most useful for strings that Siebel CRM stores in string-override fields. For information about modifying symbolic strings, see Modifying a Symbolic String to Globally Update Display Values.

To modify the value in all strings for a language

1. Export the strings you want to modify to a file.

   The source language and the target language cannot be the same language. For more information, see Exporting Text Strings and Locale Properties to a File.

2. Use a text editor to modify the strings in the file that you created in Step 1:
   • Remove strings that you do not want to replace from the file.
   • In the Target String column of the file, enter the new string that replaces the old value.
3. Import the file.
