Naming custom document properties in more than one language
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file for each language. After you update your custom document properties, RICOH ProcessDirector displays the user interface names and descriptive information for the custom document
properties in each language.In a single-language environment, the preferred method of defining user interface
text for custom document properties is to use the caption and description attributes
of the docProperty element in the docCustomDefinitions.xml
file. If you are using a single language and all custom document property descriptive
text is defined in docCustomDefinitions.xml
, do not edit the docCustomDefinitions.properties
file.
To name custom document properties in more than one language:
- Make a working copy of the
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file for each language:-
The first time that you name custom document properties in more than one language, make one copy of the sample
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file for each language except your default language. Navigate to this directory:-
/aiw/aiw1/samples/config
on AIX and Linux -
C:\aiw\aiw1\samples\config
on Windows
Copy the
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file to a working directory.Name each file
docCustomDefinitions_language.properties
. For example:-
docCustomDefinitions_de.properties
(German) -
docCustomDefinitions_en.properties
(English) -
docCustomDefinitions_es.properties
(Spanish) -
docCustomDefinitions_fr.properties
(French) -
docCustomDefinitions_it.properties
(Italian) -
docCustomDefinitions_ja.properties
(Japanese) -
docCustomDefinitions_pt.properties
(Brazilian Portuguese)
- Important:
-
Do not create a
docCustomDefinitions_language.properties
file for your default language. -
Make sure each file is owned by the RICOH ProcessDirector system user and group (aiw1 and aiwgrp1 are the defaults).
-
-
When you name additional document properties in more than one language, navigate to this directory:
-
/aiw/aiw1/config
on AIX and Linux -
C:\aiw\aiw1\config
on Windows
Copy each
docCustomDefinitions_language.properties
file to a working directory. -
-
- Edit each file to add your new custom document properties.
The entry for each custom document property has three lines:
-
Short caption
-
User interface name
-
Description
These lines add two custom document properties with the database names Doc.Custom.AccountNumber and Doc.Custom.StatementDate to the
docCustomDefinitions_es.properties
file:Doc.Custom.AccountNumber.Short=Número de cuentaDoc.Custom.AccountNumber=Número de cuentaDoc.Custom.AccountNumber.Description=Número de cuenta del clienteDoc.Custom.StatementDate.Short=Fecha de extractoDoc.Custom.StatementDate=Fecha de extractoDoc.Custom.StatementDate.Description=Fecha en que se creó el extracto
Keep a backup copy of each edited file for recovery purposes.
-
- If you did not create the file in Latin-1 or Unicode format, run the
native2ascii
utility to convert the file to Unicode Latin-1 format.-
On AIX and Linux, the
native2ascii
utility is at/opt/infoprint/ippd/jre/bin
. -
On Windows, the
native2ascii.exe
utility is atC:\Program Files\Ricoh\ProcessDirector\jre\bin
.
For more information, see the related topic about considerations for a system with more than one language in the information center.
-
- Make sure that each
docCustomDefinitions_language.properties
file uses the ISO-8859-1 character encoding format (codepage).If your files use a different format, such as Shift JIS or UTF-8, convert them to ISO-8859-1 format before placing them in the configuration directory. - Copy each edited file to the configuration directory:
/aiw/aiw1/config
on AIX and LinuxC:\aiw\aiw1\config
on Windows
- Important:
- Do not delete the
docCustomDefinitions.properties
file. The system requires a file with that name in the configuration directory.
- Make the custom document properties that you have named in multiple languages available
to RICOH ProcessDirector:
- Run the docCustom utility.The first time that you run the docCustom utility, it creates the Custom Document Properties feature and adds it to Feature Manager. When you run the utility again, it adds an updated Custom Document Properties feature to Feature Manager.
- Use Feature Manager to install or update the Custom Document Properties feature.
- Run the docCustom utility.
- Load the RICOH ProcessDirector updated custom document properties to the tool you use to configure document properties:
- If you have the PDF Document Support feature, load RICOH ProcessDirector document properties to RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.
For more information, see the related topic in the information center.
- If you have the AFP Support feature, use one of these methods to start RICOH Visual Workbench:
-
Start RICOH Visual Workbench from the RICOH ProcessDirector server.
-
Replace the RICOH Visual Workbench application on your desktop:
-
Delete the
VisualWorkbench.zip
file and all of the unzipped files. -
Download the
VisualWorkbench.zip
file from the RICOH ProcessDirector user interface. -
Unzip the file, and start the new RICOH Visual Workbench desktop application.
-
The document properties are loaded automatically.
-
- If you have the PDF Document Support feature, load RICOH ProcessDirector document properties to RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.
