Localizing Custom Site Labels

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to modify custom configuration to the user's specific language.

Localization Overview

Custom text that is added during the configuration process must be localized to the other languages that will be used by your company. The default text within Concur is localized automatically. Additional languages are added by logging a support ticket.

Localization can be managed several ways by using the Localization tool in Expense Admin, Invoice Admin, or Request Admin:

  • Manually: the administrator manually localizes individual items.
  • Export/Import: the administrator exports all of the UI text strings that need to be localized. The exported strings are localized and imported back into Concur.

  1. From the Localization page Edit Localization tab, in the Target Language list, select the appropriate language. In the Status list, select the items you want to view, select the appropriate category, and then select Search.

The highlighted area shows a Target Language dropdown set to English, a Status dropdown set to Show Only Complete Items, a text field labeled “Find Category with text containing,” and a Search button. Below is a Modify button. A table lists Category and Status. Categories include Airline Fee Types, Airline Travel Service Classes, Approval Flow Content, Approval Statuses, Attendee Types, and several Audit items. Every status shows Complete.

  2. Select the item that you want to modify, enter the localized text, and then select Save.
