Process Engineer Toolkit > User's Guide > Modifying the Rational Unified Process > Translating the Rational Unified Process Tools

The tools in the Process Engineer Toolkit, can all be tailored to any language. You can tailor the text in the tool windows, and in the error messages that the tools may display. 

You can supply your own strings by creating a text file and supply that to the tools. The text file should follow the format described below.  

Supply the text file as a parameter when you run the tools. For examples, see SearchEngineHelper, SearchEngine, KeyWordIndex, and SiteMap. The same text file should be used for all tools.  

Notice that the language for the search applet and the treebrowser applet is defined where the applets are declared. 

Text File Example

The example below contains parameters and the default text value. Each row consists of two parts, first the name of an item, and then the value. The value is the string that the tool will use in windows and error messages. In the example below the values are shown for English. These default values are used if you do not supply a file to the tools. The order of the rows are not of any importance. The values will be part of the tools' error messages and windows.
