Typecodes and localization
PolicyCenter displays choices and choice descriptions in drop-down lists in the user interface by using typelists that contain typecode definitions. Guidewire stores the names and descriptions of typecodes as key/value pairs in typelist properties files.
In the base configuration, the U.S. English string resources for typecodes are provided in the file typelist.properties. In addition, there are multiple language files, like typelist_de.properties, typelist_fr.properties, and typelist_ja.properties.
To see these files, open Guidewire Studio™ and navigate in the Project window to .
You specify the key/value pairs for the name and description of a typecode in standard Java property syntax. For example:
TypeKey.CoverageType.CPBldgCov = Building Coverage
TypeKeyDescription.CoverageType.CPBldgCov = Building CoverageSee also
