Using the localization toolkit to localize your applications

BMC provides a localization toolkit to help you easily localize your AR System applications from English to other locales.

The localization toolkit simplifies the process, and it affects the application's:

Forms
Associated views
Fields
Message catalog entries
Configuration data

You can use a graphical or command-line interface.
