Display keys and localization

PolicyCenter stores as key/value pairs the United States English string resources from which it generates field and screen labels and interactive error messages in the user interface. Guidewire calls these key/value pairs display keys. You specify the key/value pair of a display key in standard Java property syntax. For example:

Admin.Workload.WorkloadClassification.General = General

PolicyCenter stores the key/value pairs for display keys in display properties files. In the base configuration, PolicyCenter provides the file display.properties that defines string resources in United States English. In addition, there are multiple language files, like display_de.properties, display_fr.properties, and display_ja.properties.

In Guidewire Studio, you can see these files by navigating in the Project window to configuration > config > Localizations > Resource Bundle 'display'.
