Localizing Custom 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.
