i.LON SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools User’s Guide 135
The NLS Text object is used to translate custom SmartServer Web pages into multiple languages.
The NLS Text object provides a single user-defined key that you can associate with multiple text
strings in different languages. These text strings are saved in .properties files corresponding to
the custom Web page and their respective languages (e.g., page.properties, page_de.properties,
page_es.properties, and so on).
The .properties files are stored in the nls folder in the same directory as your custom FPM
configuration Web page. An nls folder containing a default .properties file was automatically
added to the web/config/fb directory on your SmartServer when your custom FPM configuration
Web page was created. You can edit the .properties file and create more for other languages
using either the demo or full version of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tool. See
Creating Localized FPM Configuration Web Pages in Chapter 8 for more information on using
the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tool to translate the NLS Text objects in your custom
FPM configuration Web pages.
You can edit or delete the provided “DEFAULT_TEXT” NLS Text object, and you can add
additional NLS Text objects to your custom FPM configuration Web page. See the i.LON Vision
2.0 User’s Guide for more information on the NLS Text object.
7. Click Insert and then select an i.LON Vision 2.0 read/write or application object to be added to
your custom FPM configuration Web page.
Note: You cannot add Image Swapper or Check Box objects to your custom FPM configuration
Web page.
8. The respective dialog for the selected i.LON Vision 2.0 object opens.
