Localized error messages

During processing, an error message is displayed when a classification or extraction method such as a Document Review method, a formatter or a validation rule fails. The following methods allow customization by adding error message translations for each language defined in a project:

  • Script Formatter

  • Single Field and Multi-field Script Validation

  • Regular Expression Validation

  • Script Validation

Important When you set up a project in the Transformation Designer the language to display the language customizations is determined by the selected project design language. In production the language that is used to display the customizable elements is determined by the selected application language. If no translation for an element for the selected language is available the fall back mechanism is applied. You can use scripting to change this behavior, especially, to display a language that is not an application language. See the Scripting Help for more details.

In a client/server environment where the Transformation Server processing is not executed on the same machine as the user interactive modules you have to ensure that the selected application language is the same for all modules. Otherwise you risk a language mixture for error messages. The language for the error messages is determined by the application language of the processing module and this can vary on different computers.
