To translate resource files
Resource files contain language-dependent content of LN homepages and query-based reports. Each resource file belongs to a particular homepage or query-based report. For example:
- A resource file linked to a homepage, contains the homepage's title and the titles of the panes used in the homepage.
- A resource file linked to a query-based report contains the report title, column headings, chart titles, and other static labels used in the report. For more information, refer to Query-based Reporting.
Some extra notes:
- Resource files do not contain language dependent LN content such as label and message descriptions.
- Each resource file contains data for only one language. The homepages and reports developed by Infor are delivered with English resource files. To run these homepages and reports in other languages, you must translate the corresponding resource files.
- When a user opens a homepage or report, Web UI automatically downloads the corresponding resource file from the LN server. Web UI automatically selects the resource file that corresponds to the user's language, as defined in the User Data (ttaad2500m000) session, so that the homepage or report is displayed in the user's own language. If there is no resource file for the user's language, Web UI downloads the original (English) resource file delivered with the homepage.
