Localization file

The table header in this table uses the same column headers from the localization file. The rows show the possible value types and their format for the translatable content or element.

When you download and use the localization file, note that:

• All translation is contained on a single worksheet (table)
• The columns in the table are not required to be in a specific order
• The localization takes place by adding a separate column for each locale (language) in the table. The first row (header) contains the locale designation in an 'xx_xx' format, where 'xx_xx' has to correspond to one of the locales supported by Birst.

  

This table shows a description for the possible 'path' and 'id' values in the translation file.
