How to change the WebUI display name of a parameter/set?

Question

In my projects I like to use prefixes such as ‘s_’ for sets and 'p_’ for parameters.

However, when designing a webUI page, I would like to mask these names with something more human-friendly. How do I do this?

My minimal working example project contains two items:

Set s_DummyData {
	Text: "SetDescription";
	Index: i_dummy;
	Definition: {
		DATA {1 .. 100};
	}
}

Parameter p_SampleParam {
	IndexDomain: i_dummy;
	Text: "ParamDescription";
	Definition: {
		val(i_dummy) * 100;
	}
}

What I hoped the Text attribute would do, is replace ‘s_DummyData’ with ‘SetDescription’. Instead I see this when I enter a table in the WebUI:

Hi @LowBjorn,You can achieve this by add a “translation.properties” file in your “MainProject\WebUI\resources” folder.You can edit the“translation.properties” file in any text editor, and just add the translations there. I’ve attached the file for your reference.Here is a link in the documentation as well -https://documentation.aimms.com/webui/multi-language.html#project-specific-translationsPlease let us know if this worked for you.Thanks.Pratap
