EDA UI localization#

Nokia EDA has partial internationalization (i18n) support of the user interface. EDA ships with a default English localization (l10n) and administrators may add additional translation files.

i18n is supported for:

Core UI components
error messages from Core APIs
application resource schemas¹, including:
- titles
- descriptions
- enum values

i18n is not yet supported for:

alarms
app documentation
dashboards
EDA Store catalogs
intent script errors
non-enum strings in resources
right-to-left (RTL) localization
workflow stage names

Downloading a default language file#

Download the default language file for an app and use it as a template for translation. This example redirects the output to a JSON file.

edactl i18n get core.eda.nokia.com --default > en_US.json

Uploading a translation file#

Use the edactl i18n put command to add or replace a translation file. The uploaded file is persisted in Nokia EDA. To display usage information, run:

edactl i18n put --help

In release 26.8.1, i18n is enabled for Core resources. Other Nokia apps will enable i18n in a future release. ↩
