## Symptoms

- After installing an update package of Threat Extraction Engine, the user defined localization is overwritten.

## Cause

The update process replaces the *file_convert.conf* file in the Engine update package with the file that already existed on the device.

## Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

* [Threat Extraction Engine Release](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk165832) starting from
  * Update Take 20 for R80.40
  * Update Take 14 for R81

<br />

After installing this Update Take, follow the below steps to preserve the user defined localization:   

1. To check whether the file is present on the current device, run:  
   `# ls -l $FWDIR/conf/cpfc_user.conf`  

2. If the file is not present, use the following command to create it:  
   `# cp -p $FWDIR/conf/file_convert.conf $FWDIR/conf/cpfc_user.conf`
3. Edit the *$FWDIR/conf/cpfc_user.conf* configuration file and keep only changed settings, **other settings should be deleted** .  
   Notice: you should keep the file's structure.  

   For example, in order to change the process amount of scrub_cp_file_convert daemon add the following:  

   `(cpfc_config`  
   ` :scrub_deamon_num_processes (4)`  
   ` :scrub_deamon_max_processes (4)`  
   `)`
