46 Using the Nortel Application Switch Element Manager

Step Action

1Create a copy of the alias.properties ﬁle. Re-name this ﬁle to

alias_ <temporary name> .properties where <temporary

name> is a temporary placeholder used to save the ﬁle under a

different name.

2Open the copy of the alias.properties ﬁle created in the

previous step in a text editor.

3Change the labels in this ﬁle to the new language equivalents.

4Save the ﬁle in UTF8 format.

5Run the native2ascii application from the operating system

command line using the following format:

native2ascii <input file name> <output file name>

In this instance, substitute <input file name> above with the

name of the ﬁle created in step 1. Specify a different ﬁle name for

the <output file name>. This ﬁle contains the localized ﬁle.

6Re-name the output ﬁle from step 5 to alias.properties and

replace the existing alias.properties ﬁle. It is advisable to

create a back up of the existing ﬁle before replacing it.
