Updating Translated Files

Translated files should be updated on the PPM Server. After the updates are completed, when a user connects from the Plug-in for PPM to the PPM Server, the files are updated on their instance of the Plug-in for PPM.

Note: New strings added to the properties files on the PPM Server are added to the matching properties files on the Plug-in for PPM instance. Updated strings in the properties files on the PPM Server are updated in the matching properties files on the Plug-in for PPM instance. Strings that exist only on the Plug-in for PPM instance are not modified.

Therefore, changes may be made directly to the properties files on the Plug-in for PPM instance. However, if those strings are added to and updated on the properties files on the PPM Server, those strings will be updated on the Plug-in for PPM instance (changes made directly to the properties files on the Plug-in for PPM instance may be overwritten).

To update the translated files:

  1. Go to the <JBoss_server>/conf/custom_resources/msp directory on the PPM Server and update the files.

  2. For each file that is updated, change the value of the VERSION key.

    Changing the version ensures that the properties files are updated on the client system when the Plug-in for PPM connects to the PPM Server.

    Note: Updates to the translated files occur if the version numbers are different. Even if the version number in a file on the PPM Server is lower than the version in the related file on the Plug-in for PPM instance, because the version numbers are different, the file on the Plug-in for PPM instance is updated.
