Re: [kura-dev] Metatype format
|
| Hi, I have been experimenting with this Multi-language feature that you described to me and have not yet got it to use the localization properties file for a translation - the original %text is displayed. There is no error, but also no translation.
The link to the localization properties file is not quite clear: - In the IBM Knowledge Center description, the location of the localization file is entered in the “localization” parameter in the metafile header. - Benjamin recommended entering an extra Bundle-Localization:
I have tried both methods, without any success.
It seems as if there is a bug in the code, as the property key that is passed to the application comes from the “name” parameter, and not from the “id” parameter. This is not what is described, (or what I would expect). This would make translation of the “name” impossible as the property would change depending on the translation.
Do you know of example where this has been used?
Again, thanks for your help regards John
Hi John,
Hi, we currently looking at using the Metatype template.xml concept for the administration of our product. The usability and looks have not been well received by out design group. Do you know of any plans to add: 1:Multi language support?
Metatype supports internationalization for the name, icon, description and label attributes. It's the standard OSGi i18n mechanism, so I invite you to have a look at the OSGi core spec if you are not familiar with it already. In a nutshell, you will: - Put your translations in localization files in something like OSGI-INF/l10n/bundle.properties, OSGI-INF/l10n/bundle_fr.properties, etc
- Add a Bundle-Localization: OSGI-INF/l10n/bundle entry in your MANIFEST.MF
- Use eg %label1 instead of an actual hard-coded label in your metatype XML file to tell the framework to use the value of label1 coming from the localization file
