In order to support IMSMA languages other than English, several files are provided to allow you to translate the messages and terms used in IMSMA. If you would like to run IMSMA in a language other than English, you will need to enter translations into the following .properties files:

  • IMessages.Properties
  • Iterms.Properties
  • UIStrings.Properties


A copy of the files above is available for each language supported by IMSMA. The files specific to a language are suffixed with an identifier specific to the language. For example, to translate the ITerms.Properties file for Spanish, you should modify the ITerm_Es.Properties file.

ITerms.Properties

The ITerms.Properties file contains terms used by IMSMA field names. The file is located in the <IMSMA Installation Directory>\client\resources\com\fgm\imsma\lexicon directory.

Note.jpg If you are running IMSMA in a networked environment and modify the ITerms.Properties file, you will need to copy this file to the <IMSMA Installation Directory>\client\resources\com\fgm\imsma\lexicon directory of each client computer

UIStrings.Properties

The UIStrings.Properties file contains the additional terms used by the IMSMA user interface. The file is located in the Location <IMSMA Installation Directory>\client\resources\com\fgm\util directory.

Note.jpg If you are running IMSMA in a networked environment and modify the UIStrings.Properties file, you will need to copy this file to the <IMSMA Installation Directory>\client\resources\com\fgm\util directory of each client computer
