Localize Resources Management

This guide outlines the process for managing localized resources within the GimCore administrative panel. The Localize Resources screen allows administrators to manage and translate various UI strings, messages, and content to support multi-language environments. This ensures that the system presents information accurately to users regardless of their preferred language.

Accessing Localize Resources

To access the localize resources management screen, navigate through the left-hand menu:

1. Click on the Resource menu item.
2. Select Resources from the submenu.

This action will display the Localize Resources data table, presenting all configured localized resource keys and their associated translations.

Localize Resources Data Table

The main screen displays a data table with the following columns:

• Resource Name: This column displays the unique identifier or key for the resource string that requires localization. This name is used internally by the system to reference the specific text.
• Original Value: This column shows the primary or default language value for the resource key. This is typically the value in the system's base language.
• Last Update: This column indicates the timestamp of the last modification made to the resource or its translation.
• Actions: This column contains action icons for managing individual resources. This includes editing an existing resource translation.
