Translations and Multilingual Support

You can use the Excel to Component Interface utility to upload data from any installed language. The Excel to CI utility delivers separate Excel macros for each delivered language. The macros contain the translated strings used as labels on the main spreadsheet. The macros are located in the appropriate language directory found in the PS_HOME/EXCEL directory.

Enabling Non-English Languages

To enable a non-English language in the Excel to CI Utility:

  • Change the language code on the spreadsheet Connect Information tab to the language to the language you want to use.

  • Change the reference to the related language macro to be used, as the default macro contains English language strings.

    To change the related language macro, in Excel select the Tools, Macro and right-click on the Visual Basic Editor option. Once in Visual Basic, select Tools, References, and click on the RelLangMcro entry. Change the file to be used to the one with the same name but located inside the translated language directory of your choice. Click OK and then save the change.

  • If you are using a language in which a different character set or numeric formatting is used, you need to set the locale of your client machine to match that language. To do so, open Control Panel, Regional settings, and select the correct language and input locale.
