  3. Enter the properties for the resource file:
    • Enter the module code.
    • In the Additional File field, enter the name of the new resource file. The name must have the following structure: <filename>_<ISO 639 language code>_<ISO 3166 country code>.properties. For example: MyResource_en_US.properties. Note: Use the same language – country codes as Web UI does.
    • In the Additional File Description field, enter a description.
