Editing the PATROL messaging text translation dynamic enrichment source file

You can also add to and edit the TextTranslation.csv file, if required. For example, you might want to translate the messages included in the file into your native language. Or, you might want to include messages related to a KM that is not already included in the file.

One of the most powerful features of the text translation file is the ability to include CORE_EVENT base event class slots that allow you to dynamically populate the message with information from parameters or other components. This feature enables you to create messages that are very meaningful.

Sample rows in the TextTranslation.csv file shows some actual messages in the TextTranslation.csv file that include variables. For example,

To insert a slot value into a message, use the following syntax:Variable syntax example

This message includes the %mc_object% and %mc_parameter_value% variables. This syntax in the enrichment source file enables you to substitute the value of the slot you have referenced into the event message.

Message text %<slot_name>% message text

If you need to include a % sign in the actual message text, you must precede the % character with a back slash (\). For example, in the following figure the desired text message includes a % character. The syntax for the message is %mc_parameter_value%\% full.

If the value of mc_object is D: and the value of mc_parameter is 97 the reworded message would be:
