Managing Language Packs using AssetTool

Overview

AssetTool application can be used to manage language packs for a given asset. AssetTool application is located in /cgi_studio_bin/AssetTool/ folder and provides the following functionality:

  • Appending a new language pack to an asset
  • Removing an existing language pack from an asset

A usage example of AssetTool application for managing language packs can be seen in /cgi_studio_player/content/Tutorials/05_Globalization/AppendMultiLanguagePack.bat script.

Appending a New Language Pack to an Asset

For the example solution, the following command can be called for appending language pack MultiLanguagePack_Source.lps to the existing asset MasterLanguagePack_Asset_Host.bin:

AssetTool.exe -append -a MasterLanguagePack_Asset_Host.bin MultiLanguagePack_Asset_Host.bin MultiLanguagePack_Source.lps

This will result in a new generated asset called MultiLanguagePack_Asset_Host.bin, which will contain the translation for all languages available in the language pack.

Removing an Existing Language Pack from an Asset

For the example solution, the following command can be called for removing master language, with code "00", from the existing asset MasterLanguagePack_Asset_Host.bin:

AssetTool.exe -append -r MasterLanguagePack_Asset_Host.bin temp.bin 00

This will result in a new generated asset called temp.bin, which will no longer contain the translation for the master language pack.
