Preparing a language string file for translationPermanent link for this heading

Last update: 4 August 2017

SummaryPermanent link for this heading

This article describes how to load language strings from a text file (exported from a Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2012 installation) into a Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2013 installation and export it again with updated references. The new file can then be sent to a translation agency for translating the missing strings.

InformationPermanent link for this heading

The following instructions make use of the Bulgarian language. It is assumed that the language string file from the Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2012 (which contains the Bulgarian translations) already exists. It is also assumed that an Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2013 installation, running on Windows Server 2008, is available.

  • Start the Fabasoft Folio Server Management of the Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2013 installation:
  • Select the menu option „Load“ from the context menu of the domain:
  • Select the component „ComponentsLDK“ from the Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2013 installation disc:
  • Select the entry „Fabasoft Folio/LDK and click on the button „Edit“.
  • Select the checkbox for the language which you would like to install. For this example choose Bulgarian (?????????) and click on the button „OK“:
  • Click on „OK“ again to start installing the new language.
  • After the services have restarted open a command prompt on the server.
  • Load the Bulgarian translations from the file into the Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2013 installation by executing the following commands:

set HOST=localhost

set PORT=18070

loader -langlang LANG_BULGARIAN -langload translation_strings_2012.txt

    

  • Restart the Fabasoft Folio Backendservices and Fabasoft Folio Webservices after loading the file has completed.
  • Log in with the System Administrator account and check if the translations were successfully loaded:
  • Set the option „Multilingual Input“ in the user environment to „true“:
  • Open the properties of a component object (for example object class „Folder“) and check if a translation for the loaded language exists:
  • Open a command prompt again and execute the following commands to export the translations into new files again, which will then contain new additional entries from the Fabasoft eGov-Suite 2013 installation:

       set HOST=localhost

set PORT=18070
