Localization and Globalization

You can localize and globalize ITBA. The user interface of HP ITBA supports multiple languages.

ClosedLocalize the out-of-the-box KPI Library pane contents

The localized installation adds the language libraries of XML files in specific directories. You copy and then import these files to display the out-of-the-box template Scorecards, Perspectives, Objectives, Folders, and KPIs in the KPI Library in the selected language.

To localize the out-of-the box content of the KPI Library: Scorecards, Perspectives, Objectives, and KPIs, proceed as follows:

  1. In the IT Business Analytics server, locate the
    $HPBA_HOME/ContentPacks/KPILIB/INBUILT/BI/KPITEMPLATES/LANGUAGES/<language_code>_<country_code> directory relevant for the language you want to use in the application. The .xml files in the directory represent both KPIs and KPI directories.

    The language code and country codes are as follows:

    Language Language Code Country Code
    Brazilian Portuguese pt BR
    French fr FR
    Spanish es ES
    German de DE
    Japanese ja JP
    English en US
    Dutch nl NL
    Italian it IT
    Simplified Chinese zh CN
    Korean ko KR
    Russian ru RU
    Turkish tr TR
  2. Copy these .xml files to the $HPBA_HOME/glassfish/glassfish/domains/BTOA/config/kpitemplates/import/load directory.

    Tip:

    If the directory contains other sets of files (for different languages), it is recommended to keep in the directory only the required set of language files and to move the other files outside the directory to prevent the loading of both set of language files and an unknown result.

  3. Import the out-of-the-box language files using the KPILoaderimportKPIs() procedure described in .

ClosedLocalize the out-of-the-box Dashboard content (pages and components)

The localized installation adds the language libraries of XML files in specific directories. You copy and then import these files to display the out-of-the-box template pages and components in the selected language, in the Dashboard.

To localize the out-of-the box pages and components, proceed as follows:

  1. Prerequisite

    You have performed the installation and post-installation procedures or the upgrade to the current version.

  2. Copy the libraries

    1. In the ITBA server, locate the
      $HPBA_Home/glassfish/glassfish/domains/BTOA/config/
      uimashup/import/languages/<language_code>_<country_code>
      directory relevant to the language you want to install. These .uim.xml files represent the components and the pages used in the Dashboard.
    2. The language code and country codes are as follows:

      • Components_<lang>_<country_code>.uim.xml
      • Pages_<lang>_<country_code>.uim.xml,
      • where lang is the language code and country_code is the code of the country:

        Language Language Code Country Code
        Brazilian Portuguese pt BR
        French fr FR
        Spanish es ES
        German de DE
        Japanese ja JP
        English en US
        Dutch nl NL
        Italian it IT
        Simplified Chinese zh CN
        Korean ko KR
        Russian ru RU
        Turkish tr TR
    3. Copy these files to the
      $HPBA_Home/glassfish/glassfish/domains/BTOA/config/uimashup/
      import/toload
      directory.

      Tip  

      If the directory contains several sets of files (for different languages), it is recommended to keep in the directory only the required set of language files and to move the other files outside the directory to prevent the loading of both set of language files and an unknown result.

    4. Import the out-of-the-box language files (only for the pages and components - events are not localized) using the relevant procedure described
