Localizing templates

In the base configuration, Guidewire provides a number of template-related definition files for notes, emails, and documents. In Guidewire Studio™, you can navigate in the Project window to the following folders containing these files:

configuration > config > resources > doctemplates
configuration > config > resources > emailtemplates
configuration > config > resources > notetemplates

Each folder contains two files for each resource type, the template file and a descriptor file. The two files have the same names but different file extensions. PolicyCenter uses the files to define a document, an email, or a note. The following table describes these files.

File extension	Description	Example
`.rtf` .htm .pdf .xml .xls	Template files of various types. Template files contain the actual content of the document, email, or note.	CreateEmailSent.gosu.htm
`.descriptor`	Template descriptor file in XML format. This file contains the template metadata, such as: `name` `subject` This file can also contain symbol definitions for context objects that PolicyCenter substitutes into the template content file in creating the final document.	`CreateEmailSent.gosu.htm.descriptor`
