Localizing Custom Content

You can update page instructions for localized sites. When you localize custom content, you create new content by suffixing a custom content ID with a locale code. You can also decide whether or not to show the content in the End-User Portal.

Note:For information about the content that is localizable, see Localization and Custom Content.

To localize custom content

On the Custom Content page, click Create Content. The Producer Portal opens the Create Content page.

On the Create Content page, provide the following information:

Content ID: Enter the content ID of a supported End-User Portal page, followed by the locale code as a suffix to the ID. For example, to localize the epAnouncements content for France, add the “-fr_FR” suffix to the ID: epAnnouncements-fr_FR.

Description: Enter a descriptive name for custom content. (This content will not be visible on the End-User Portal page.)

Choose whether the custom content is available to viewers in the End-User Portal:

•

Select the Hide from Portal? check box to prevent this content from appearing in the End-User Portal.

•

Leave the Hide from Portal? check box unselected to allow this content to appear in the End-User Portal (when its status is Live).

Leave Template blank.

In Content, enter the localized text or HTML to be displayed in the End-User Portal.

Click the Preview icon. The Producer Portal shows the Preview Content in a pop-up window where you can see the custom content rendered.

Choose whether to save the custom content as a draft or to save and publish it:

•

Click Save Draft to save the content in its current state in Draft status. The Producer Portal saves the custom content with a status of Draft.

•

Click Publish to save the content in its current state in Live status. The Producer Portal saves the custom content with a status of Live. Custom content with Live status is available to End-User Portal users unless its Hide from Portal? check box is selected.
