Example: Internationalize the Help

An international company has purchased Identity Manager and must support users in English, Spanish, and French. They are able to internationalize their Identity Manager environments, but the help is written in English. They want to write a version of help in each language and make the correct help available depending on what language the user requires.

To internationalize the help

1. Write custom help pages for each task and tab, and in each language.
2. Host the custom help pages on a web site.
3. Create two locale-specific resource bundles and place the .properties files in the iam_im.ear/config/com/netegrity/config directory.

   For example, if the environment is named neteauto, create two resource bundles such as help_neteauto_es.properties (for Spanish) and help_neteauto_fr.properties (for French).

4. Restart the Identity Manager Server.

   Users with their browser locale preferences set to Spanish or French will be directed to the appropriate custom help in their language. All other users will be directed to the default English user help.
