Localizing custom UML profiles

If you need to translate the display names of your profile to different natural languages, you can generate a file that lists the display names of the stereotypes, attributes, constraints, enumerations, and classes in your profile. The generated file has .properties as its file name extension.

Before you can localize a custom UML profile, the profile must be open in the Model Explorer view.
To localize a custom UML profile:
  1. In the Model Explorer view, right-click a profile; then click Localize.
  2. In the Save As window, type a file name and press Enter.
    Note: The file name should follow the form myprofilename_lc_cc, where lc represents the language code and cc represents the country code. The country code is optional.
