Warning:

This section details how to use the CSV Export / Import to manage translations.

This approach should only be chosen when dealing with a limited number of records / lines: no more than a hundred.

For larger volumes, please prefer the Excel import / export feature for performances reasons.

You can either translate your objects individually (Translate resources associated to a single object):

How to:

• [Via the ‘Explore Structure’ explorer]
  • Click on the object to be translated in the Explorer.
• [Via the Menu Toolbar – Group Languages]
  1. In the combo box associated to the Source function, select the Source language of your modeling object.
  2. Click on Source.
• [Via the Menu Toolbar – Group Languages]
  1. In the combo box associated to the Destination function, select the language of your translation.
  2. Fill the objects descriptions in the To column (in Destination Language).
  3. Click on Save.

OR translate all resources (Mass update via Export/Import tool)

How to:

• [Via the ‘Explore Structure’ explorer]
  • Click on the icon representing the complete Bundle in the Explorer.
• [Via the Menu Toolbar – Group Languages]
  1. In the combo box associated to the Source function, select the Source language of your modeling object.
  2. Click on the Source function.
• [Via the Menu Toolbar – Group Languages]
  • In the combo box associated to the Destination function, select the language of your translation.
• Export:
  • [Via the Menu Toolbar – Group Exchange] Click on Export.
  • In the popup, choose the separator/delimiter (; by default).
• Edit the translation file:
  1. Retrieve the Exported file on the server.
  2. Open the file and enter the translations in the ‘To’ column.
  3. Save the file and close it.

  1. [Via the Menu Toolbar – Group Exchange] Click on Import.
  2. In the popup, choose the separator/delimiter (; by default).

     Warning: Please ensure that your files are encoded in UTF-8 format.

The languages available for translation are listed in the following file that you can find on the CPQ server:

$CPQ_HOME$/conf/“internationalSettings.xml”.

To add a new language, insert the following XML block between the opening and the closing tags:

<internationalSettings name='Français'>

<language code='fr'/>

<country code='FR'/>

<currency code='EUR' format='#.##0,###'/>

<longDate format='yyyy MMM dd EEE HH:mm'/>

<shortDate format='dd MMM yyyy'/>

<time format='HH#mm#ss.s'/>

<number format=''/>

<integer format=''/>

</internationalSettings>

Replace the setting name, language, country, and currency depending on your settings. Save and close the file, and restart the CPQ Server.
