Localizing Teamcenter stencils and mapping files
You can create stencils in locales other than English using the same customizing steps. However, the boxes in the Action column of the Actions section should be entered as shown in the customizing topics for the various master shapes. Menu commands in shortcut menus can be localized by adding locale-specific menu names in the Menu column. The shape data Object Name box can also be localized.
Mapping files should be created only in the English locale. However, you can declare a master shape name in any locale as long as the stencil contains a master shape with the same name:
<DiagramShapeMaps>
<DiagramShapeMap DiagramShapeName="locale_name">
............................................................
</DiagramShapeMaps>
- DiagramShapeName — replace
locale_namewith the exact name of the master shape in the stencil.
Note: If a master shape consists of compound shapes, include the isGroup parameter with the value true, e.g.:
<DiagramShapeMap DiagramShapeName="locale_name" isGroup="true">
