Creating Translation Tables - Cisco PIX 500 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 38 Configuring AnyConnect VPN Client Connections
Understanding Language Translation
Functional areas and their messages that are visible to remote users are organized into translation
domains. All messages displayed on the user interface of the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client are located
in the AnyConnect domain.
The software image package for the security appliance includes a translation table template for the
AnyConnect domain. You can export the template, which creates an XML file of the template at the URL
you provide. The message fields in this file are empty. You can edit the messages and import the template
to create a new translation table object that resides in flash memory.
You can also export an existing translation table. The XML file created displays the messages you edited
previously. Reimporting this XML file with the same language name creates an new version of the
translation table object, overwriting previous messages. Changes to the translation table for the
AnyConnect domain are immediately visible to AnyConnect client users.

Creating Translation Tables

The following procedure describes how to create translation tables for the AnyConnect domain:
Export a translation table template to a computer with the export webvpn translation-table command
Step 1
from privileged EXEC mode.
In the following example, the show webvpn translation-table command shows available translation
table templates and tables.
hostname# show import webvpn translation-table
Translation Tables' Templates:
customization
AnyConnect
CSD
PortForwarder
url-list
webvpn
Citrix-plugin
RPC-plugin
Telnet-SSH-plugin
VNC-plugin
Translation Tables:
Then the user exports the translation table for the AnyConnect translation domain. The filename of the
XML file created is named client and contains empty message fields:
hostname# export webvpn translation-table AnyConnect template
tftp://209.165.200.225/client
In the next example, the user exports a translation table named zh, which was previously imported from
a template. zh is the abbreviation by Microsoft Internet Explorer for the Chinese language.
hostname# export webvpn translation-table customization language zh
tftp://209.165.200.225/chinese_client
Edit the Translation Table XML file. The following example shows a portion of the AnyConnect
Step 2
template. The end of this output includes a message ID field (msgid) and a message string field (msgstr)
for the message Connected, which is displayed on the AnyConnect client GUI when the client
establishes a VPN connection. The complete template contains many pairs of message fields:
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
