Associate Labels with Resource File Key Pairs

Associate Labels with Resource File Key Pairs

Create a translation resource file for the default locale language.
When you have created a translation resource file for the default locale language, you must then associate its labels with key pairs in that file.
  1. Select a label in your report design. In the
    Property Editor - Label
     view, select the
    Localization
     tab.
  2. Click
    Browse
    . The
    Select Key
     dialog box shows all of the key pairs that you defined in your
    translations.properties
     resource file.
  3. Add the pair that is appropriate for your label.
  4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each label that requires translation.
    • The first properties file in the list is the default properties file. The
      Layout
       view uses it to display the report design's label content.
    • Report Designer previews use the properties file associated with the locale that you select in
      Preferences
      Preview
       to display the label content and translate the text.
    • After you deploy a report design with translation resource files to Workday, the server runtime selects the properties file whose suffix corresponds to the user's Preferred Display Language. If a language-specific file isn't available, it selects the default properties file.
