Search and Customize Language Strings

Administrators with the Allow Custom Language String Editing permission in System Roles (Data Access Control > Role General Permissions) can search and customize language strings.

A string key is searched for an exact match, but any entered string text uses wildcard matching. Only the first 500 matching strings are listed. For a specific key, the text displayed shows what would appear for the user for the selected language, and so represents a precedence display representing the full locale hierarchy. Text searches only list entries in the selected locale.

You can also add new label keys and text strings to the database.

Deleting a text string removes it from the database only, it does not delete .properties file entries. The LMS must be restarted for the deleted string to be removed. (Updates are immediate and do not require a restart.)

To search and customize language strings

  1. Go to Manage Center > System > Search/Customize Language Strings
  2. Select the language to search.
  3. Optionally, enter the label.key to search in the String Key field. The label.key uniquely identifies a specific text label (string).
  4. Optionally, enter the label.key value in the String Text field.
  5. To return only customized text labels stored in the database, select the Show database configured strings only? check box.
  6. Click Search. The page updates with a table of results, showing the String Key and String Text for the selected language.

To customize the label(s) from the result list

  1. Select the check boxes of the labels you want to update.
  2. Update the label text in String Text column.
  3. Click Update.
