In order to support IMSMA languages other than English{{Note | To modify the localisation files, several files are provided to allow you to translate the messages and terms used in IMSMA'''should''' use Rosetta-J. If you would like to run IMSMA in a language other than English, you Contact your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor]] who will need to enter translations into the following provide guidance.properties filesYou may download Rosetta-J from this '''[http:::*IMessages//mwiki.gichd.Properties::*Itermsorg/mediawiki/images/0/00/Rosetta_J.Properties::*UIStringszip link]'''.Properties}}
The three files that are used for localisation need to be created for each new language. Each language has a unique language code. IMSMA is using the Window's codes. See which code should be used in the Data Inventory Manager.
A copy # In the '''Customisation''' menu → '''Data Inventory Manager'''.# Click on the Translate button in the Data Category pane of the files above is available for each language supported by IMSMAData Inventory Manager window. The files specific to a # Find the desired language are suffixed with an identifier specific to in the languageLanguage list and note the code e. For example, to translate the ITermsg.Properties file km for Spanish, you should modify the ITerm_Es.Properties fileKhmer.
{{Note| If you are running {{IMSMANG}} in a client/server installation and modify the properties files, you will need to copy of IMessage and ITerms files to the ''C:\IMSMAng\client\resources\com\fgm\imsma\lexicon'' folder of each client computer. }}
