Creating a translation package
Expand the user base of your application by translating it into different
languages. By creating a translation package, you bundle all the text in your
application into a single .zip file, which translators can then
process more conveniently.
The system exports the majority of the text in your application to a
TextToTranslate.xml file. The file does not include custom
rules, such as correspondence rules and HTML fragments. For each of these rules, the
system creates a separate folder with a pair of files called
Translation.html and Base.html. Both files
initially contain the same text, but during the localization process, the translator
puts the target text into the Translation.html file.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- In the Select a Language list, pick a target language,
and then click Add.You can select more than one language.
- If your application already has a translation, select the Re-translate existing translations? check box to overwrite the previous translation.
- Click Next.
- Select the rulesets that represent the text that you want to localize:
Choices Actions Application-specific text - Select the Include application layer ruleset check box.

- Select the Include Pega translation and export for custom translation check box.
General Pega text: rewriting the language pack translation - Select the Include all PegaRULES application rulesets check box.
- Select the Override Pega translation and export for custom translation check box.
Text from another ruleset Select Include field value from other rulesets, and then select the source ruleset. - Click Next.
- Click Enable records for translation.The wizard might display a list of errors related to ruleset dependencies and custom code. You can click on a rule to open it in a new tab and resolve the error. For custom code, such as HTML fragments, you can use the getLocalizedTextForString(String, String) method to make the code translatable.
- Click Next.
- Select whether you want to include example files in the translation package.
- Click Download for translation, and then click Next.
- Note the Work ID number for the translation, and then click
Close.The Work ID number helps you identify the translation task when the translation package is ready.
