Copy Cognos Documentation Files

You cannot use IBM® Cognos® User Interface and Error String Customization Toolkit to coordinate the customization of the documentation files supplied with IBM Cognos Business Intelligence.

If you do not customize the documentation files, the files appear in the default language. The default language is defined by the following variable:

var sDefaultLang

If you customize the documentation files, you must copy the files manually to each computer to which you copied the customized resource files and perform the following steps.

Procedure

Go to the following product directory:
installation_location\webcontent\documentation
Create a directory named with the two-letter language code of the target language. For example, es for Spanish.
Copy the entire contents of the customized documentation directory into the target language directory.
Go to the following product directory:
installation_location\webcontent\ccl

In the helpDocs.js file, add the two-letter language code of the target language to the supported languages. In the following case, es is added:

// These are the languages (English, French, Japanese,
Germany and Italian) that are supported by IBM Cognos 10.
var sSupportedLangs = " en fr ja de es";
var sDefaultLang = "en";

To change the default language to Spanish, change the following variable from en to es:
```
var sDefaultLang = "es"
```
In the documentation directory, make copies of the copyright_en.txt and copyright_en.html files and rename the copies as copyright_xx.txt and copyright_xx.html, where xx is the two-letter language code of the target language.
