Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Vector Tile Style Editor Translation Patch
Summary
Esri announces the Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Vector Tile Style Editor Translation Patch. When using the vector tile style editing capabilities of Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 with the home application configured to display in a non-English language, the Save As dialog includes unexpected characters. This patch updates the unexpected characters to display the correct translation. This patch also includes a fix for displaying KML layers in the Map Viewer that is unrelated to Vector Tile Style Editor. This patch deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.
As a best practice, clear the browser cache and re-launch the browser after installing the patch.
This patch can be uninstalled as outlined in the Uninstalling this patch on Windows and Uninstalling this patch on Linux sections below. Additionally, Esri recommends developing a rollback plan before installing patches. This may be taking a snapshot of machines and related file servers or using the WebGIS DR tool as a software backup. See Back up and restore best practices for more information. For those utilizing a highly available environment, refer to the help topic on how to apply patches in a highly available environment for guidance.

Installing this patch on Windows
On Windows, the release date order of the patches does not matter when installing multiple patches. If an older patch is installed after a newer patch, the newer patch takes precedence and the fixes from the newer patch will remain. The ArcGIS Enterprise Patch Notification tool, when the option to install all available patches is activated, installs multiple patches in order of release date starting with oldest to newest.
The ArcGIS product listed in the table must be installed on your system before you can install a patch. Each patch setup is specific to the ArcGIS product in the list. To determine which products are installed on your system, please see the How to identify which ArcGIS products are installed section. Esri recommends that you install the patch for each product that is on your system.
