User Interface Localization - Testing Your Localization

 

The procedures outlined below describes the necessary steps to add the new language to FileHold for the purposes of Testing. This assumes FileHold was installed using the standard default English version installer. FileHold Customer Service will provide the localization team with a zipped-up directory structure with all necessary resource files (in the form of DLLs) to allow the installation of the new language into the FileHold clients (Web Client, FDA client, FOC client and all web services).

NOTE: It is entirely up to the localization team to test the new localization across all FileHold clients to ensure the new captions have been accurately translated and are not breaking any areas of the user interface by being too long (i.e. too many characters in length)
.

The following structure will be provided by FileHold Customer Service to the Localization team:

          \NewLangDLLs
                  \FDA (contains files related to the FDA and FOC)
                  \WebClient
                  \FullTextSearch
                  \LibraryManager
                  \UserRoleManager
                  \DocumentRepository
