This table summarizes the key decisions for this scenario.

Decisions to Consider	In this Example
What's the sandbox name that you want to use for translating existing strings?	Sandbox1

What's the replacement text that you want to replace the existing text with?	Work area

Enter Text Translations for Existing Strings

1. Install English language in your application.

2. Create and activate Sandbox1.

3. Click Navigator > Configuration > User Interface Text.

4. Click the Search and Replace tab, which is the default tab you see.

5. In the Find field, enter the text, "page".

6. In the Replace field, enter the text, "work area".

7. Click Search.

   Caution: Some tab names on the Preview Text Changes page are followed by an asterisk (*) (for example, the Messages tab). For these tabs, once you save the preview text changes, these changes are applied to the mainline metadata. You can't undo your changes after you preview and save them, even though you're currently in a sandbox. The changes still remain, even if you delete the sandbox.

8. Preview and adjust changes in your search results.

9. Click Replace Strings.

10. Test and verify all messages and pages affected by the text changes. Be sure to test across all applications.

11. Publish Sandbox1.

    Your replacement text for the existing string is now available to all users.
