EasyVista Translator is a standalone translation tool used for deploying and updating the languages proposed in Service Manager.
- It provides users with an interface that is completely translated, i.e. labels, messages, titles, buttons, etc.
- It is based on two fundamental concepts: languages and packages.
What is the purpose of Translator?
- Deploy a new language by installing one of the packages shipped by EasyVista.
- Perform the mass translation of all text strings in Service Manager into a new non-standard language, and then create and install a custom package to deploy the language in your company.
- Update the additional languages deployed in your company each time a new Service Manager version is installed or a fix is applied.
Conditions for accessing Translator
- SaaS-based customers:
- The EasyVista Support team sends you translation Excel files each time a new language is deployed or a new fix is passed. These files contain all untranslated text strings between the new fix version and the previous version.
- You must complete the Excel files and send them to the EasyVista Support team.
- The EasyVista Support team then performs all the procedures described on this wiki page to deploy or upgrade the language in your production database with your updated translation files.
- You must submit a change request to the EasyVista Support team to deploy a new non-standard language.
- The EasyVista Support team sends you translation Excel files each time a new language is deployed or a new fix is passed. These files contain all untranslated text strings between the new fix version and the previous version.
- On-premises customers: You perform all the Translator procedures described on this wiki page yourself to :
- deploy or upgrade a language;
- deploy a new non-standard language.
Fundamental concepts
Languages
- Users can modify their interface language in My Details in the user information zone.
- Each language is identified by a two-letter abbreviated language code.
example EN for English, DA for Danish
- Languages shipped with Service Manager:
- Standard languages: Six languages are provided in the standard version by EasyVista when Service Manager is installed. They are automatically updated with each version upgrade and fix. They are stored in dedicated columns with the following abbreviated language codes: EN for English (US), FR for French, GE for German, IT for Italian, PO for Portuguese and SP for Spanish.
- Additional languages: Each company can install up to six additional languages based on their requirements. These six languages are referenced by default using codes L1 to L6.
- Pivot languages: Pivot languages are used by Translator to identify each text string and map it with Service Manager. These are (EN) English and (FR) French. You cannot modify these two languages using Translator.
- Reference languages: To help translators do their work, text strings can be extracted in different languages in addition to the two automatically selected pivot languages.
example If you want a Brazilian translation, you can extract text strings in Portuguese, in addition to the two pivot languages, English and French.
Packages
- A package consists of a group of compressed files in a EasyVista format. It contains all translated text strings and all parameters of Service Manager components.
- The six standard language packages are provided by EasyVista and are automatically installed in Translator.
- EasyVista can provide additional packages that are maintained by partners on a regular basis. You must install these manually in Translator.
example Catalan package updated in partnership with the University of Barcelona
- Companies can deploy languages other than those in EasyVista packages. If so, they must create and maintain their own packages.
- The files in the package can be copied and moved on the server, sent to customers and injected into Service Manager.
Translator: Operating principle
- Translator uses a database that is not linked to Service Manager. Its tables are automatically initialized when it is used for the first time in a Service Manager production database.
- The Translator Home page is made up of four modules that revolve around two main functionalities:
- The translation of a Service Manager production database into a language.
- The updated translation of a Service Manager production database after a Service Manager version upgrade or the application of a fix.

Example
The Incident string is processed by Translator after the Catalan package is deployed in Service Manager
1. The Incident label was not modified in the EN and FR pivot languages in Service Manager.
- Translator can perform the mapping with Service Manager.
- The Catalan translation is injected into Service Manager.
2. The Incident label was modified in the FR pivot language in Service Manager ==> new label Ticket.
- Translator cannot perform the mapping with Service Manager.
- The Catalan translation is not injected into Service Manager.
- The translation of Ticket into Catalan must be done manually in Service Manager using multilingual labels.
Notes
- Service Manager contains approximately 42,000 text strings to be translated, including roughly 11,000 unique strings.
- The EasyVista Translator interface is only available in English.
- During the Service Manager setup, the packages of the six standard languages will automatically be deployed in Service Manager and installed in Translator.
- New Service Manager versions and fixes are always shipped with the updated six standard languages.
- The six additional languages, L1 to L6, have been available since Service Manager version 2010. To ensure backward compatibility, configurations defined in earlier versions that do not support these languages are retained.
example Deployment of Polish in the standard language column for Portuguese
- If text strings are modified in one of the pivot languages, then Translator can no longer perform the mapping between Service Manager tables and Translator tables and inject text strings.
- An Excel delta translation file can be generated to identify them easily.
- You must use multilingual labels in Service Manager if you want to modify text strings in one of the pivot languages. You cannot do this in Translator.
- Folders and file names in Translator:
- <Translator>: Folder where the Translator executable is installed.
- $$: Two-character abbreviated language code.
- Excel translation files: <Translator>\excels\LOC_CONFIG_$$.xlsx
- Packages: <Translator>\packages\LOC_CONFIG_$$.lpk
- Excel delta translation files: <Translator>\excels_delta\LOC_DELTA_$$.xlsx
- Log file: <Translator>\Log\smoLocalization.log
Caution
- Excel version 2007 or later is required for editing XLSX files. Earlier versions are limited to 65,535 rows.
- You must not define an additional language, i.e. L1 to L6, as the default language for your company in the AM_COMPANY.LANGUAGE_ID field.
- You must not use any of the six standard language columns to deploy a new additional language. You must use the dedicated columns for additional languages, L1 to L6.
example Deployment of Catalan in column L1 instead of in column SP assigned by default to Spanish
- Before injecting Translator content into the Service Manager production database:
- Always perform a backup of the Service Manager production database. This ensures that you can restore the database if there are multiple problems or translation errors.
- To avoid replacing one language by another inadvertently, check that your current configuration clearly indicates the languages stored in the six standard columns and in the additional columns L1 to L6.
- Ask users to log out of Service Manager because you must stop and restart EasyVista services.
- PHP pages saved in the localization folder on the Web server and used in the Service Manager production database are not stored in Translator. They must be made available to Translator so that they can be translated.
- Once the Service Manager production database has been copied and pasted in Translator, PHP pages must be copied from the localization folder on the Web server and pasted in the <Translator>\localization_src folder.
- After Translator content has been injected into the Service Manager production database, they must be copied from the <Translator>\localization_dest folder and pasted in the localization folder on the Web server.
- Only custom menu items can be modified and translated. Standard menu items are managed by EasyVista.
- XLSX and LPK files:
- You must not modify the file name or extension.
- You must not modify any column header or text string in the EN and FR pivot languages or in the reference languages. You can only enter the translation in the column of the language to be translated.
- If you move the Excel files in order to translate them, you must move them back to the <Translator> work folders upon completion.
Best Practice
- To ensure that Translator contains the latest updated text strings from Service Manager, you should systematically extract text strings prior to any translation or update operation. This is step 1 in the Translation, Injection and After Upgrade modules.
- Pivot languages cannot be updated using Translator. To identify text strings that have been updated in one of the pivot languages in the Service Manager production database, generate an Excel delta translation file and use multilingual labels to translate them in Service Manager.
- Check that a log file is generated at the end of each step. Translator automatically logs all errors encountered. You should correct them manually.
example Label too long has been truncated
- If you are required to deploy several languages, you should run the processing in Translator to inject one language at a time into the Service Manager production database. This makes it easier to check for errors.
- After Translator content has been injected into the Service Manager production database, check that the translation was performed correctly before enabling user access.
- Log in to Service Manager using one of the languages deployed.
- Browse through different screens containing the updated text strings.
- Restore the database if you encounter multiple errors.
