Overview of the Configuration File config.json

In the configuration file config.json, you can define the user interface languages available in crossTerm Now.

By default, the file is located in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Across\crossTermNow\ClientApp\App\i18n.

Structure of the Configuration File

The structure of the configuration file config.json is as follows:

{
"supportedLocales": [
{ "name": "EN", "id": "en", "isDefault": "true", "acrossLanguage": "en-US" },
{ "name": "DE", "id": "de", "acrossLanguage":  "de-DE" },
{ "name": "FR", "id": "fr", "acrossLanguage":  "fr-FR" }
],
"sourceLanguage": "en-UN"
}

Rules for Editing the Configuration File

• Observe the following rules when editing the configuration file:
• Open the file with a text editor, e.g. Notepad++.
• Each user interface language is specified in a separate line.

  Example:

  { "name": "DE", "id": "de", "acrossLanguage": "de-DE" }

• Separate the individual language lines with commas.

  Example:

  { "name": "DE", "id": "de", "acrossLanguage":  "de-DE" },
  { "name": "FR", "id": "fr", "acrossLanguage":  "fr-FR" }

• There is no comma after the last language line.
• Insert a new line for each new interface language.
• Tip

  Copy one of the existing lines and replace the language values in the copied line. An overview of the individual language values to be entered is available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc233982.aspx

Example:

{ "name": "DE", "id": "de", "acrossLanguage": "de-DE" } can be copied and customized as follows for Dutch: { "name": "NL", "id": "nl", "acrossLanguage": "nl-NL" }

• To determine the user interface language to be displayed by default, enter the attribute isDefault in the respective language line and set the value true.

  Example:

  { "name": "EN", "id": "en", "isDefault": "true", "acrossLanguage":  "en-US" }

• In the drop-down list, the user interface languages will be displayed in the order in which you enter them in the configuration file.
• If not all strings are available in a language, the untranslated strings will be displayed in English.
