Resource localization

You can localize Infor Public Sector by modifying or translating the strings that are used to display messages to the user. These strings are stored in two places:

  • In the Client\Core directory of the Infor Public Sector application, a file called Resources.js stores the strings used by the various JavaScripts in Infor Public Sector.
  • Other strings are stored in the resource files in the Infor Public Sector bin directory. These files are named using this convention: Hansen.[Module].Resources. For example, Hansen.CDR.Building.Resources is used to display messages relating to the Building Permits module.

Resources.js is a standard JavaScript file that can be modified in any text editor. To modify the resource files, you must modify the .resx files that they’re based on and then recompile the resource files.

Note: Modifying the resource strings is just one step in the localization process. A typical localization also involves using the Content Manager to edit the pages in the Infor Public Sector interface, and updating certain configuration settings in the Configuration Editor.

Also note that your modified resource files will be overwritten when you upgrade Infor Public Sector. You should save these files in a separate location so that you can reapply them after an upgrade.
