Localizing system table XML files

Guidewire recommends that you use the Product Designer system table editor to make changes to system tables. However, if you need to make numerous changes for localization, you can modify the system table files directly. System tables are in XML format.

The localization elements in each system table have a similar XML structure. In the system table XML file, elements that can be localized use a language attribute to provides translated text in for that system table.

In the following CPClassCode system table example, the language attribute of the Classification element is used to provide German, U.S. English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Russian text for the Classification field.

<CPClassCode public-id="CP_0082_5">
