Work with the CSV Files

When you localize the AVEVA Batch Management application and start the application, all localized applications/service will preload the resources (.CSV files) it needs.

All resource strings pull localization information from the respective .CSV files.

• Each Resource Group has its own .CSV.

• The CSV must always contain the following Headers:

  • ResourceName – The "Key" for the resource string. This is how the string is retrieved.

  • DefaultValue – This is the original value of the string.

  • Value – This is the string that will be used in the interface after localization. You can update this column with the localized text.

  • Comment – Used to provide additional information about the string.

    Note: Make sure that all the required headers exist in the .CSV file. Otherwise, it will not be loaded and the application will not open. A warning message will be logged in the logger if the rows are not formatted properly.

• Localized App/Services always load the following CSVs:

  • (AppName).csv

    • Services like InfoMngr and SimMngr do not have an app CSV.

  • Common.csv

  • dkerrors.csv

  • dklib.csv

• InfoMngr – loads additional CSVs that are required by runtime clients.

• The tooltips are localized as per the format with only the text after "\n" as the tooltip.

• When you uninstall the AVEVA Batch Management application, the Configurator renames the messages folder to ‘messages_<date>_<time> and the localized CSV files are not deleted.
