Hi,
Local translation files (LocaleMap.de-DE.xml) are not published for assets which are managed with Vault.
The *.faf container doesn't manage local translation files at the moment.
My colluege asked a few years ago, too:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/factory-design-utilities-forum/localmap-xml-file-current-status/td-p/...
This topic relates to copied system and cloud objects as well as user defined assets with translations.
At present there is the only possibility to copy assets and rename all properties as. Furthermore connectorclasses as well as all definitions for asset chains have to be redone. This circumstance is unfortunate.
We tested the following workflow which doesn't fit well:
- Copy a system object to Vault
- Start editing the asset
- Copy the original LocaleMap.xx-XX.xml to "appdata\local\temp\factorypublish\<asset>"
- Link the XML in Inventor to third-party providers in the model browser
- Republish the asset in Vault
The FAF now includes the localemap file.
However this workaround is bad because after using the asset we'll get an instance IPT file and a Instance XML file for the local xml file as well. The folder \FactoryAssets get a new subfolder including these two files, but just the IPT is necessary. In conclusion we produce a lot of redundant XML data in vault.
It would be a great improvement, if you could include LocaleXml files in faf like family.xml.
Best regards
Christoph
