Localizing metrics

The Metric Editor generates metrics properties files for the current locale. Create translations of this file for as many other locales as your organization supports. To make translated metrics available in Unica Marketing Operations, upload a metrics XML file and the corresponding metrics properties files into Unica Marketing Operations. Name properties files to upload as follows:

metric-definition_<locale>.properties

The display name keys and description keys for metrics are saved in the metrics-related tables for plans, programs, and projects. To distinguish keys from real values, use the key prefix, which is $_$.

While Unica Marketing Operations is running, the system replaces metrics keys with values from the metrics properties file.

Properties file sample:

$_$.metric.AVFee.display=Audio Visual Fee ($)
$_$.metric.AVFee.description=Audio Visual Fee
$_$.metric-group.BoothExpenses.display=Booth Expenses
$_$.metric-dimension.metricValue0.display=Actual
$_$.metric-template.CampaignProject.display=Campaign Project
$_$.metric-template.CampaignProject.description=Metrics for Campaign
