Hi,

In Blaze we have a provision for changing the localization attributes. In Blaze Builder IDE- Go to Project-->Project Settings.In Project Settings, you can change the value of Localization attribute.

I hope this helps u.Let me know if you need any more information.

For an existing Rule repository and backend system using blaze advisor 6.6 and/or 6.9, we need to support multiple languages. We have individual repositories for every client and we have hundreds of such individual repositories. I understand there is a Project setting for the localization in the advisor but that alone won't solve our problem because we have many variables whose values are hardcoded as long English string/text messages inside multiple rules under various rulesets. for example, if person.country = "Spain" then { greetingMessage = "Good morning. We welcome you on-board". emailText = "Thanks for shopping. Your order has been received. We will email you when it gets shipped." } These values are ultimately displayed in the browser. Consider a scenario where client has users across the globe. Based on their users' preferences, e.g. preferred language, they want us to display above hardcoded variable values in the browser in a preferred language. Of course, we can't use Google Translator for this job. My question is how we can retrieve above values in various languages to show in the browser? What is the best strategy for this scenario? Your inputs are appreciated. Thanks,

Use resource identifiers in your rules, and keep the translations in some external file/database/etc.
