Localizing a control
You can localize the label, tooltip, and other text of a UI control object by editing the <text> attribute of its corresponding control element in the controls.xml file.
About this task
The <text> element specifies a placeholder corresponding to the name of a name/value pair in the resources-xx.prop file representing the language in which the LiveContent S1000D UI is displayed. For example, to localize the text of the Bookmarks UI control, add the <text>ctrl.bookmark</text> text attribute to the corresponding control element definition in the controls.xml file. Then, in the resources-xx.prop file for each language that will be used for the UI, add the desired text as the value corresponding to the name ctrl.bookmark. At run time, the UI control object is created using text from the appropriate language resource file.
Procedure
Results
ctrl.bookmark placeholder from the appropriate language resource file.
