Exporting Language Packs

You can export the languages and localization resources used by an application. You may want to do this if you want to import it for use with another application. For example, your company may have opened a new office in another country and you want to create a new language pack for the application for the new location.

After exporting, a applicationname.locale.zip file is created where applicationname is the name of the application. The file will have all the localization files in its root folder.

Note: If you edit and save changes to an exported localization file, you MUST use an editor that uses UTF-8 encoding. If you save the localization files using non-UTF-8 encoding, then re-import them into an application, the localized phrases could be corrupted, causing them to be displayed as question mark characters ('?') instead of using the correct, localized characters. This problem is most likely to occur in applications using non-Latin based languages.

Procedure

  1. From the Application List view, select the application whose language packs you want to export.
  2. Click Language.
  3. Click to display the menu options.
  4. Click Export. All the available locales in the application are exported to the zip file. The file name is the name of the application, in the format applicationname.locale.zip.
