Scenario

GoGoRoad stakeholders have requested that  New Vendor Case Type be localized into the Spanish language. Fortunately, Pega Platform™ supports language translation using the Localization Wizard. 

The Lead System Architect on the GoGoRoad project has tasked you with localizing the New Vendor Case Type of the GoGoRoad application. To accomplish this task, you must export the files, translate the properties on a UI form into Spanish, import the files, set the locale settings, and then test the translated form.

As a new System Architect, your Lead System Architect has given you a collection of technical documentation links to help you get started.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge:

Role User name Password
Application Developer author@gogoroad pega123!

After completing this challenge, you should be able to:

  • Localize Constellation applications for use across different global regions.

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
