Localizing Metadata

Localizing Metadata

You can localize all metadata in Data Director. Metadata provides additional information about data. For example, metadata for a Person business entity includes first name, last name, birth date, and tax ID.
  1. Click
    Configuration
    General Settings
    , and then select
    Metadata Localization
    .
  2. Click
    Metadata Localization
    .
    The tree view panel and the metadata localization panel display the localization options.
  3. In the
    Metadata Localization
     panel, under
    Metadata Bundle
    , click
    Create Template
    .
    The
    besMetadata.zip
     file downloads.
    If you created a template bundle, click
    Export
     to download the
    besMetadata.zip
     file, edit the file, and click
    Import
     to import the language metadata bundle.
  4. Save the
    besMetadata.zip
     file to a location on your local drive.
  5. Extract the
    besMetadata.zip
     file to your local drive.
    The
    besMetadata.properties
     file appears.
  6. Save a copy of the properties file with language code and country code for the language you want to use.
    For example, to create the Canadian French version, save the file as
    besMetadata_fr_CA.properties
    .
  7. Open the localized file in a text editor. For each property, add the language code in brackets followed by the translation.
    For example, the following property shows a French translation for first name: 
    Person.firstName=(fr)prénom
  8. Compress the localized properties file into a .zip file with the same name as the localized properties file.
    For example, create
    besMetadata_fr_CA.zip
    .
  9. Import the localized .zip file. In the
    Metadata Localization
     panel, under
    Metadata Bundle
    , click
    Import
    .
    The language metadata bundle is imported.
    To localize task actions, you must manually add a space between the task action name in the
    besMetadata.properties
     file using the
    taskaction.<action name>
     format. For example, change
    taskaction.CancelTask
     to
    taskaction.CancelTask=(br)Cancel Task
    .
