Translations and Display
This section of the SFX Admin Center allows you to determine the exact wording for all text elements to be used in your SFX A-Z List, for one or multiple languages in which you want to make the A-Z List available to end users.
This tool allows you to:
- Change the wording of all text elements in the language of your choice.
- Return to the default settings for languages provided by Ex Libris.
- Add or remove a language.
- Run the SFX Admin mapping wizard to import existing configurations.
The first time you access the tool, the SFX Admin mapping wizard appears. The wizard helps you import your existing SFX menu language settings, defined in the following files of your SFX instance, for use in the SFX A-Z List:
- config/map_languages.config_
- config/services_public_name.config_
This ensures that languages used in the SFX menu are imported to the A-Z configuration section.
