Language and Translations

How To
How does IMSMA know which language to use? Update the Localisation Files Translate Custom Defined Fields and Custom Options via a File Export/Translate the Terms Import the Translated Terms

In order to use other languages than English, three files are used for localization of the messages and terms used in IMSMA^NG. If you would like to run IMSMA^NG in a language other than English, you will need to enter translations into the following .properties files:

•  IMessages.Properties;
•  Iterms.Properties.

These two files are stored as files and are not imported into the database nor included in the database backup. Please, refer to HERE SHOULD BE A LINK.

The third file is created by the Export Translations in the File menu and should be imported back into the database after translation of the enumeration lists' values. HERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER LINK

To modify the localisation files, you should use Rosetta-J. For information on using Rosetta-J, contact your GICHD IM advisor.
