Understanding Language Translation

Functional areas and their messages that are visible to remote users are organized into translation
domains.

The software image package for the security appliance includes a translation table template for each
domain that is part of the standard functionality. The templates for plug-ins are included with the
plug-ins and define their own translation domains.
You can export the template for a translation domain, which creates an XML file of the template at the
URL you provide. The message fields in this file are empty. You can edit the messages and import the
template to create a new translation table object that resides in flash memory.
You can also export an existing translation table. The XML file created displays the messages you edited
previously. Reimporting this XML file with the same language name creates an new version of the
translation table object, overwriting previous messages.
Some templates are static, but some change based on the configuration of the security appliance. Because
you can customize the logon and logout pages, portal page, and URL bookmarks for clientless users, the
security appliance generates the customization and url-list translation domain templates dynamically
and the template automatically reflects your changes to these functional areas.
After creating translation tables, they are available to customization objects that you create and apply to
group policies or user attributes. With the exception of the AnyConnect translation domain, a translation
table has no affect and messages are not translated on user screens until you create a customization
object, identify a translation table to use in that object, and specify that customization for the group
policy or user. Changes to the translation table for the AnyConnect domain are immediately visible to
AnyConnect client users.
