There are times when you want to find out which language strings have been customized on your learning environment (e.g. were modified and are not the defaults in the product). This can be useful for example if you want to deploy your site and French and want to make sure that all language strings customized in English are also customized in French.

Step-by-step Guide

To determine which language strings have been customized:

  1. Go to Site Administration > Language > Language Customization

  2. Open the language pack in question

  3. Select all the components in the list and check the "Customized only" checkbox

  4. Click on the "Show strings" button

Important Notes

  • If one of your customized strings has since been modified in the learning environment by Dual Code (in the "out of the box" product), the customized strings will be highlighted in yellow as per the screenshot below and will include a "mark as up-to-date" checkmark. 

    • If you want to KEEP your customization, leave it and select "mark as up-to-date" before saving your changes.

    • If you want to DISCARD your customization because you like the new string in the learning environment, you may delete your customization in the "Local customization" text area and save your changes. The string will now be displayed as per the learning environment's default string.
