Manage Localization

This section explains how to add, apply, and remove the localization files for the Bold BI application.

Localization involves adapting a website into different linguistic and cultural contexts, which goes beyond simple text translation.

Add language

To add a language file to the application, please follow these steps:

1. Go to the Site Settings page and click on the Manage option.

   

2. In the Manage Language dialog box, click the Add Language button to upload the language file.

   

3. Choose the language from the dropdown and select the file to upload. The zip file should have the correct structure. Refer to this link for the valid file structure.

   

4. After uploading the file, Click Upload, and the language will be added to the application.

   

Note: The file should include all the Bold BI service folders and message.po for all services.

Localization file structure

1. Create application folders with the following names for each service:

   • bi
   • bi-dataservice
   • ums

   

2. To create a locale file messages.po from messages.pot, you can either use manual editing or an online tool for the BI and UMS services. Refer to this for instructions.

3. To create a locale file messages.po from default.po you can either use manual editing or an online tool for the Designer service. Refer to this for instructions.

4. After completing the above steps, please convert the service folders into a zip file and upload them to the application.

   

Delete language

To remove a language, Select the language and Click the Remove option. You have the option to remove single or multiple languages.
