In certain situations, it may be preferable to change the Polycom pre-translated strings into a shorter abbreviation or a clearer / different translation.

Download the complete software package from => here <= selecting either a compatible Business Media or Conference Phone
Unpack the downloaded file
Browse to the \VVXLocalization\ Sub Directory
Chose the language in question for example German within the \German_Germany\ Sub Directory
Open the VVX-dictionary.xml File with an XML conform Editor (Notepad++ as an example)
Identify the relevant phrase and change the phrase to a more suitable translation or abbreviation.
Substitutions like those explained => here <= can be utilized to determine specific phone models and the limitations of their display size.
The example in the above screenshot would shorten the phrase on a VVX101 and VVX201

The new updated file can be placed onto the Provisioning Server overwriting the existing file. The same would be applicable for a Polycom Trio via USB Stick provisioning as shown => here <=
