Extracting the strings for localization - Documentation for Remedy Action Request System 20.08
Liam Parker 
After you create a localization package definition, you can extract the strings for localization into the localization database (l10n.db in the root folder).
The folders are organized in the root l10n folder (see Setting a root folder) as follows:
Folders for attachment files --For forms inside an application, attachment files are saved in hierarchy of folders. The name for the first folder under l10n contains the application's name. A subfolder under this folder is created for each attachment field and locale. The subfolders' names include the form name, the attachment field ID, and locale.
The path to the attachment fields looks like this:
<BMCRemedyDeveloperStudioInstallDir>\workspace\l10n\
<applicationName>\<formName_attFieldID_locale>For example:
<BMCRemedyDeveloperStudioInstallDir>\workspace\l10n\VideoRental\
Inventory_710048911_esAttachment fields for independent forms have folders saved directly in the l10n folder. The naming scheme for the attachment field's folder is the same; it includes the form name, the attachment field ID, and locale.
Template_Filesfolder --The Template_Files folder contains template files from the Resource Definition form linked to the application. A separate locale folder is created for each application and locale, for example:
<BMCRemedyDeveloperStudioInstallDir>\workspace\l10n\
Template_Files\<applicationName_locale>For example:
<BMCRemedyDeveloperStudioInstallDir>\workspace\l10n\
Template_Files\VideoRental_esHelp_Filesfolder --The Help_Files folder contains the About box image and external help files in the application. A separate folder is created for each locale, for example:
<BMCRemedyDeveloperStudioInstallDir>\workspace\l10n\Help_Files\
<applicationName_locale>Even if more than one file is linked, only the first file is extracted (or updated) because the catalog form can have only one such entry.
Support_Filesfolder --The Support_Files folder contains the external report files linked to the Open Window active link actions. A separate folder is created for each locale, for example:
<BMCRemedyDeveloperStudioInstallDir>\workspace\l10n\Support_Files\<activeLinkName_fr>\
The translation processors cannot distinguish whether the file present is the original or localized version. They simply verify the presence of the named file and pick it up.
Important
When you import the translated definition file, you must replace the file with the translated version, and the name and extension must exactly match the original file. For more information, see Importing the translated strings.
