The localized strings for each locale are stored in that locale's .properties file. You can modify a locale in the Source Editor as a text file or in the Properties Editor. You can also edit a specific locale using its customizer.

To edit a locale in the Properties Editor:

  1. Right-click the properties object node (Properties Object Node) in the Files window and choose Open.

    The Properties Editor is displayed showing all existing keys and their values for each locale.

  2. If you want to change a property's key, type the new name in the Key column.

  3. If you want to change a property's value for a locale, type the new value in the locale's Value column.

  4. If you want to add or remove keys, use the New Property and Remove Property keys.

To edit a locale as a text file in the Source Editor:

  1. Right-click the properties object node and choose Edit to edit the default locale.
  2. If you want to edit a different locale, expand the properties object node, right-click the node for the locale you want to modify and choose Edit.

To edit a locale using the customizer:

  1. Expand the properties object node in the Files window.
  2. Right-click the desired locale and choose Customize.

    The Locale customizer opens listing the locale name and each existing key.

  3. If you want to switch locales, click the ellipsis (...) button. This option is not available for the default locale.
  4. If you want to add a new property to the locale, click Add Key and enter the key name and value.
