15.5 Localizing Metadata Names in the Repository

You can use the Externalize Strings utility in the Administration Tool to localize the names of subject areas, tables, hierarchies, columns, and their descriptions in the Presentation layer. You can save these text strings to an external file with ANSI, Unicode, and UTF-8 encoding options. To externalize strings for localization: 1. Open the repository in the Administration Tool. 2. Right-click any Presentation layer object, such as a subject area, presentation table, or presentation column, and select either Externalize Display Names then Generate Custom Names , or Externalize Descriptions then Generate Custom Descriptions to externalize strings. Selecting one of these right-click externalization options automatically selects the Custom display name or Custom description options in the Properties dialog for the selected object and all of its child objects. For example, if you right-click a subject area and select one of the externalization options, then the externalization flag is set on all presentation tables, columns, hierarchies, and levels within that subject area.

3. Select Tools, then select Utilities.

4. Select Externalize Strings and click Execute.

5. In the Externalize Strings dialog, select a subject area in the left pane.
