Translation file requirements

  • Do not change any values in the translation file except the strings in the LocaleToTranslate position (last field in each record).
  • The header record must be present.
  • Each record must conform to the following standards:
    • All records must have the same number of fields.
    • RefName and Id fields must not be empty.
    • RefName length must be less than or equal to 63 characters.
    • Revision and OwnerType lengths must be less than or equal to 255 characters.
    • ReferenceLocaleValue and LocaleToTranslate lengths must be less than or equal to 32000 characters.
  • Double quotation marks (") are required for any field that contains a line break, double quote, or comma and are optional for any other field.
  • If a field contains a double quotation mark character [for example, Dizzy ("Groggy")], you must include another double quotation mark as an escape character, as follows: "Dizzy (""Groggy"")"
  • Lines must end with a Windows-style (CRLF) line terminator.
