Updating Localized Content
Updating localized text for the End-User Portal requires requesting the appropriate language-specific resource files from Revenera Support and updating the text they contain.
Resource files follow a consistent naming convention that identifies the type of content and language. For example:
FLEXnetOperationsPortalText_de_DE.properties—The file contains German (Germany) localized text for general portal content.
FLEXnetErrorMessages_da_DK.properties—The file contains Danish (Denmark) localized text for error messages.
To update localized content
| 1. | Identify the language and type of content (general portal text or error messages) to update. |
| 2. | Request the appropriate resource file from Revenera Support, specifying the language and type of content you want to edit. |
Revenera Support will provide the corresponding .properties resource file.
| 3. | Edit the resource file as needed using a standard text editor. Ensure that only the text values are modified and that the existing keys and file format are preserved. |
| 4. | Once your changes are complete, submit the updated resource file to Revenera Support. Support will upload the file into your FlexNet Operations configuration so that the customized text is displayed in the End-User Portal. |
Character Encoding and Language Considerations
When updating localized content, take care to ensure that text is encoded correctly, especially for languages that use special characters (such as umlauts or accented characters). The .properties files use Unicode escape sequences to represent special characters, and incorrect encoding can result in text being displayed incorrectly in the portal.
For example, the following entries from a German resource file use Unicode escape sequences for special characters:
operationsportal.common.button.back=Zur\u00FCck
operationsportal.common.button.clear=L\u00F6schen
operationsportal.common.button.close=Schlie\u00DFen
In this example, sequences such as \u00FC, \u00F6, and \u00DF ensure that German characters ü, ö and ß are rendered correctly in the portal UI.
