Language customization

Overview

The Swivel Administration console can be configured to different languages and text. However the language files will need to be backed up and reapplied after an upgrade on each Swivel instance, although new features and changes may be displayed in English.. If the language files are supplied to Swivel, it may be possible to incorporate them within the Swivel build although new features and changes may be displayed in English.

See also Administration console customization.

Prerequisites

Swivel 3.x

How to create new language files

The language files are stored in <path to Tomcat>/pinsafe/WEB-INF/languages

Appliance: /usr/local/tomcat/pinsafe/WEB-INF/languages

Create copies of console.en.xml and errors.en.xml changing en for the required language abbreviation.

Example: console.jp.xml and errors.jp.xml.

Edit the language files

Edit these two files and replace the appropriate text in <PhraseContent>TEXT</PhraseContent>

However, it will probably be necessary to convert characters to UTF-8 encoding.

Setting the language file

On the Swivel Administration console change the language under Server/Language to the required language abbreviation used above. Click Apply and the language file should be applied immediately.

Example: jp
