Error description

• After installation FixPack 1 on 8.0.1 version, users cannot use
  language localization ( specifically noticed with regard to
  Russian ) in the ProcessPortal. As a result, even when a user
  changes the language in their portal preferences, everything is
  still seen in English.
  
  When this issue occurs, you will see a 'Failed to initialize
  registry' message when a profile is upgraded from 8010 to 8011.
  Creating a new profile on 8011 does not result in the same
  message. This problem caused by the resource bundle id not
  being updated when upgrading from 8010 to 8011, so the new
  resource bundle will not get imported to the database. A patch
  is required for the bootstrap code to resolve this behavior.
  After applying the fix the bootstrap must be done again with
  the patched code.
  

Local fix

• Partial workaround: export localization from 8.0.1 Process
  Portal App and then import it to the 8.0.1.1 version. After
  deployment of new snapshot on server, changing language changes
  display language in most areas. However, installation of new
  snapshot doesn't help to translate header of report page with
  action links Save, Manage EPV and Export - which still display
  in English.

  After installing fix pack 1 on V8.0.1, users cannot use the
  language localization feature in Process Portal. This issue
  was specifically noticed regarding Russian. Even when a user
  changes the language in the preferences, everything is still
  displayed in English. When this issue occurs, users see a
   ¢â‚¬ “Failed to initialize registry ¢â‚¬  ½ message when a prof
  upgraded from V8.0.1. to V8.0.1.1.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem occurs because the resource bundle ID is not
  updated when users upgrade from V8.0.1 to V8.0.1.1; therefore,
  the new resource bundle is not imported into the database. A
  fix for IBM BPM V8.0.1.1 is available so that the resource
  bundle ID is updated.
