Location

Group Configuration Files are copied over to the L10nStreamlining/<group name>/config folder during the create group process. The original configuration files are located in the ../lingoport/lrm-server-xx/deploy/templates/dir_structure/group folder. These files can be moved to the project level if more granularity is needed. The files can also be moved to the global level if less granularity is needed.

Configuration files can be at the global, group or project level.

Global: <HOME>/Lingoport_Data/L10nStreamlining/config

Group: <HOME>/Lingoport_Data/L10nStreamlining/<group name>/config

Project: <HOME>/Lingoport_Data/L10nStreamlining/<group name>/projects/<project name>/config

If there are duplicate files, the project level takes precedence, followed by the group level, and finally the global level.

Group Name

A group name must conform to the following specification: A set of alphanumeric characters without the following special characters:

  • < (less than)
  • > (greater than)
  •  : (colon)
  • " (double quote)
  • / (forward slash)
  • \ (backslash)
  • | (vertical bar or pipe)
  •  ? (question mark)
  • * (asterisk)
  • (space)
  •  % (percentage)
  • -- (more than 1 consecutive dash)

Group File Structure

Under the L10n Streamlining directory (typically <HOME>/Lingoport_Data/L10nStreamlining), each group file structure follows this pattern:

<group_name>
├── config
│   ├── config_due_dates.xml
│   ├── config_l10n_vendor.properties
│   ├── config_lingotek_locale_mapping.properties
│   ├── config_lrm_info.properties
│   ├── config_pseudo_loc.xml
│   ├── config_ws_locale_mapping.properties
│   └── config_ws_locale_projecttype_mapping.properties
└── projects
    └── <project 1>
        ├── config
        │   ├── config_email_recipients.xml
        │   └── config_vcs.properties
        ...

Each of the group configuration files can be copied to the project 'config' directory if a project has a configuration different from other projects in that group.

For more information on the global configuration files, visit the Global Configuration Files page.

For more information on the project configuration files, visit the Project Configuration Files page.

This section describes the configuration at the group level

config_due_dates.xml

This file specifies how many working days a prep kit is expected to be translated based on the number of words. A typical file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<due-date-config>
        <thresholds>
                <threshold max="50"   nb-work-days="2" />
                <threshold max="200"  nb-work-days="3" />
                <threshold max="500"  nb-work-days="5" />
                <threshold max="1000" nb-work-days="10" />
                <threshold max="5000" nb-work-days="15" />
                <threshold max=""     nb-work-days="20" />
        </thresholds>
</due-date-config>

For example: if you are translating 453 words, you expect it to complete in 5 days. You can add, modify or remove thresholds.

config_l10n_vendor.xml

This file specifies for all the group's project how files will be sent to translation. The details of this configuration must be worked out with the translation group, for instance, what ID's Lingotek will provide this company or this group within the company.

This file is configured at installation time by Lingoport and should not be modified thereafter.

For more information see L10n_Vendors

config_lingotek_locale_mapping.properties

This file maps the locales used in the application to the locales used by Lingotek. For instance, if 'fr' is a locale in the application, it may map to fr_fr or fr_ca depending on the situation.

A typical file is formatted this way:

de=de_de
en=en_us
es=es_mx
fr=fr_fr
...

config_lrm_info.properties

This file contains information about:

  • type of prep kits to create; full-file or changes-only.
Defaults to changes-only. This means that only the deltas will be sent to translation. Of course, if the target file doesn't exist then the entire base resource file will be sent to translation.
  • starting characters of a json comment
Defaults to an underscore, _. LRM reads/writes comments to the translated file.

A typical file looks like this:

json.comment.starts.with=_
#Default to changes only prep kits
prep.kit.changes.only=1

config_pseudo_loc.xml

This file determines how the base file (typically U.S. English) will be pseudo localized. See Pseudo Localization for information on changing the default values.

config_ws_locale_mapping.properties

This file maps the LRM supported locales with the unique Worldserver Locale where the LRM locale is the key and the Worldserver Locale is the value. If a target locale is missing from this file then prep kit files will not be uploaded to Worldserver. This file can exist at the project and group levels.

A typical file is formatted this way where fr_fr is one of the target locales:

fr_fr=002_French_France
...

Lingoport copies this file over at group creation.

config_ws_locale_projecttype_mapping.properties

This file maps a LRM supported locale with its corresponding Worldserver project type where the LRM locale is the key and the Worldserver project type is the value. If a target locale is missing from this file then prep kit files will not be uploaded to Worldserver. This file can exist at the project level and group levels

A typical file is formatted this way where fr_fr is one of the target locales:

fr_fr=1222
...

Lingoport copies this file over at group creation.
