Localization: Single Language Support

Using the single language localization method, localization base files are generated through a publish of the application project. The files are then provided to a translator, who replaces the default display values found in the files with the translated text, creating the localization override files.

These localization override files are then placed in the installation folder of the server. The localization override files should be named to match the corresponding [Configuration] section setting for the override file. Following are the default names of these files:

  • applicationStringsFile=ApplicationText.ini
  • clientStringsFile=ClientText.ini
  • applicationGlobalsFile=Globals.ini

If it is necessary to change the names of the localization override files, then you must modify the above-listed settings accordingly.

Once the localization files are created and loaded by the server, clients will receive any override values within these files. Any values not overridden come from the application definitions.

Use this method of localizing an application only when a single localized language is provided to all users, or when other localizations not related to an actual language translation are needed. The latter might include changing UI labels and other display strings based on deployment or industry specific terminology.
