Localization

You can localize all the text in TerraExplorer Fusion's side toolbar menu tabs and dialog boxes and tools by translating the English strings to your required language and saving the new string file to the required directory.

To localize TerraExplorer Fusion's strings:

All language files for the user interface and message strings are saved under the application's “.\js\lang” folder. Language files for each of the tools are saved under the “.\tools\[name of tool]” folder.

For the side toolbar and panels and application messages and errors:

  1. Make a copy of the English Lang.js file (located under the “.\js\lang” folder) and then translate all its strings to your required language.
  2. Save the translated .js strings file in the same folder as Lang.[formal language code].js. E.g., Lang.fr.js (for French). More about: Language Codes>
  3. Repeat steps 1-2 for each of the languages you want to localize.

For the application's analysis and navigation tools (e.g., Area and Distance Measurement, Terrain Profile, Image Comparison):

  1. Make a copy of the English Lang.js file (located under the “.\tools\[name of tool]" folder) and then translate all its strings to your required language.
  2. Save the translated .js strings file in the “.\tools\[name of tool] "folder as Lang.[formal language code].js. E.g., Lang.fr.js (for French). More about: Language Codes>
  3. Repeat steps 1-2 for each of the languages you want to localize.

Note: You can set your language as the default TerraExplorer Fusion language by saving your translated file as Lang.js.

To open TerraExplorer Fusion in the localized language:

There are two ways to set the language for TerraExplorer Fusion:

  • Set it in the SG configuration option and then append the config parameter to your URL query string. All language files (for each of the tools and the general one for the user interface) for this language will be used.

    &config=[ConfigurationName]
  • Append a language parameter to your URL query string. More about: Set URL Parameters  >  Use the following format: 
    &lang=[formal language code]
