Editing a Locale

You can modify a .properties file by opening the file making changes in the table view, where you can see the properties and values for all locales, or in a text file for a specific locale.

To change the value of a locale in the table view:

  1. Right-click the .properties file in the Explorer window and choose Open from the contextual menu.

    The Source Editor displays the contents of the file in a table format showing the key and value pairs for each property for each locale.

  2. Select the value or key name you want to change and type a new value.

    Use the New or Remove Property buttons to add or remove properties.

To change the value of a locale in a text file:

  1. Right-click the .properties file in the Explorer window and choose Edit from the contextual menu.

    The Source Editor displays the contents for the specific locale in an editable text file.

  2. Select the value or key name you want to change and type a new value.

    You can also type in a new key and value pair or delete and existing pair.

  3. Choose File Save to save your changes.
