Localizing Oracle BPM WorkSpace Icons

You can replace some of the WorkSpace icons for a certain locale. The following procedure shows you how to customize WorkSpace icons for a specific locale.

To localize WorkSpace icons:

  1. Create a copy of the properties file defined by the property fuego.workspace.imageBundleFile in WorkSpace configuration file, workspace.properties located in <ORABPM_HOME>/webapps/workspace/WEB-INF.
    Note: Make sure you leave the copied properties file in the same directory where the original file is.
  2. Rename the copied file adding to its name the suffix _localeCode that corresponds to the desired locale according to ISO-639. For example, to localize icons for French language you should add the suffix _fr to the properties file name. If the English icons customization file is named customIcons.properties the French customization file is named customIcons_fr.properties. For a complete list of the available codes, see http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt.
  3. Replace the standard icon for the new icon.
    1. Copy the new icon to the directory <ORABPM_HOME>/webapps/workspace/img/.
    2. Locate the key that corresponds to the icon you need to change. For a list of WorkSpace icons, see WorkSpace Icons Reference.
    3. Replace the value of this property for path of the new icon. The value of the property is the text to the left of the equals sign.
    Note: Avoid deleting properties while editing this file, doing so can cause the WorkSpace to fail loading upon restart.
  4. Repeat the previous step for all the icons you need you customize for the corresponding locale.
  5. Restart Oracle BPM web applications.
The next time you access WorkSpace in the defined locale, it uses the defined custom icons.
