Generate database localization tables

When a new language is added in the project, we recommend to create your project in the default language.

  1. Build the dashboard project in English and click the Generate localization tables icon in Tools.

    This generates three tables in the project meta database.

    • Resource_<Language Code>: A language table for each language that your project supports.

    • ResourcesReferences: A table for reference to define where the strings are used.

    • DoNotTranslate: A table for strings that should not be localized.

  2. Add changes in the tables as required.
  3. Reset IIS.
    Now the changes are applied and the database resources table is updated. When you change the language in the Viewer through the Language context option, the dashboard is shown in the selected language.
