Custom texts and available languages
- Mattias Löfstrand
This guide describes how to change texts in the web viewer using custom-text.config. Each text in the web viewer and custom added texts may be controlled in custom-texts.config and each text is defined by its unique keytext.
Adding custom texts
Use the following steps to change a text in the web viewer:
Decide if custom text shall apply to all sites in the server or to a specific site.
Locate the custom-text.config file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AssertWeb\App_Data\
If the text shall apply to all sites, open the custom-text.config file located in the App_Data folder
If the text shall apply to a specific site, open the custom-text.config file located in the App_Data\<sitename> folder
Find the exact keytext needed to identify the text to be changed.
All texts in web viewer are defined in the Strings.en.resx file below.
Use the name tag to identify the keytext to use.
Add a new keytext in the custom-text.config file with the new custom translation needed.
Restart IIS and reset web browser cache to see change.
Sample custom text file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<CustomText xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Texts>
<Text keytext="Search">
<Translation language="en-US">Search serial number</Translation>
<Translation language="sv-SE">Sök serienummer</Translation>
</Text>
</Texts>
</CustomText>Copy text
From version 5.2 it is possible to copy a text into another keytext. The keytext will then get the values of another keytext. Any specified translations will still be used.
It is not possible to copy in several steps, a copy cannot refer to a text which is already a copy. Copy will always take the values of the directly referred keytext.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<CustomText xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Texts>
<!-- Copy will copy values from keytext Products -->
<Text keytext="Catalogue" copy="Product">
<!-- For en-US use this instead --
<Translation language="en-US">Alternative text</Translation>
</Text>
</Texts>
</CustomText>
