Alter text by editing KVG files

You can alter the text displayed on Bravura Security Fabric web pages by modifying the appropriate tags in en-us-errmsg.kvg and en-us-language.kvg. To do this:

  1. Find the tag that corresponds to the text you want to modify

  2. Search for the tag name in en-us-errmsg.kvg and en-us-language.kvg .

  3. Create a custom file in custom\.

    Tags in <lang>-<locale>-errmsg.kvg cannot be used in JavaScript or TypeScript files. As a result you cannot include these tags in the Angular portion of the skin, or the portions of the Legacy skin that use JavaScript. Tags in <lang>-<locale>-language.kvg can be used everywhere.

    This file must have the same name as the original. It must also include the outer KVGroup:

    # KVGROUP-V1.0
"language" "EN_US" = {
}

  4. Copy the KVGroup whose key matches the tag name you determined in Step 1 from the source file to the custom file. For example:

    # KVGROUP-V1.0 
"language" "EN_US" = { 
  "_CGILOGIN_ENTER_LOGIN_ID" "" = { 
    "text" = "Please enter your network login ID:" 
  } 
}

  5. Modify the text value to suit your needs. For example:

    # KVGROUP-V1.0 
"language" "EN_US" = { 
  "_CGILOGIN_ENTER_LOGIN_ID" "" = { 
    "text" = "Please enter your employee ID:" 
  } 
}

  6. Save and close the custom KVGroup file.

  7. Generate and Install the skins .

To modify the text for other languages that you have installed, follow the above procedure but replace en-us in the filename and EN_US in the outer KVGroup with the appropriate language code.

Warning

If your new text must include quotes, it is highly recommended that you use single quotes (') rather than double quotes ("). If you must use double quotes, they must be escaped properly.

For text that appears within an HTML widget, a double quote must be preceded by three backslashes (\\\"). For "normal" text, a double quote must be preceded by a single backslash (\").
