Ok, I use NT station so my scripts examples are for windows. There are two general types of a dictionary changes: 1) It is necessary to add translations for a new language <lng> to my dictionary, i.e. to create a new messages_<lng>.xml file. 2) It is necessary to change/add some translations for already used languages in a dictionary (as well as in messages_<lng>.xml files).
In both cases some common dictionary.xml with format of simple_dict.xml is used as a source for messages_<lng>.xml files creation. Then in the case (1): 1. addnewlang.cmd (command line "addnewlang.cml <lng>") is used to create a template for new langauge translations (dictionary_<lng>.xml): @echo off SET CLASSPATH=.;..\WEB-INF\lib\xalan-2.2.0.jar;..\WEB-INF\lib\xerces-1.4.4.jar set lng=%1 set keep=-PARAM keep-lang en if "%lng%"=="" set keep= if "%lng%"=="" set lng=en set dic=%2 if "%dic%"=="" set dic=dictionary java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN %dic%.xml -XSL merge.xsl -OUT %dic%_%lng%.xml -PARAM mode keys -PARAM new-lang %lng% %keep% @echo on 2. Then the created dictionary_<lng>.xml file is modifyed so that it contains translations for all the keys. 3. The common dictionary.xml file is updated by merge.cmd (command line "merge.cmd <lng>") to include the new language translations from dictionary_<lng>.xml: @echo off SET CLASSPATH=.;..\WEB-INF\lib\xalan-2.2.0.jar;..\WEB-INF\lib\xerces-1.4.4.jar set lng=%1 if "%lng%"=="" set lng=en set dic=%2 if "%dic%"=="" set dic=dictionary if EXIST %dic%.xml goto ok1 echo Error: %dic%.xml doesn't exist. goto error :ok1 if EXIST %dic%_%lng%.xml goto ok2 echo Error: %dic%_%lng%.xml doesn't exist. goto error :ok2 java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN %dic%.xml -XSL merge.xsl -OUT %dic%_new.xml -PARAM mode merge -PARAM new-lang %lng% -PARAM new-dict %dic%_%lng%.xml if NOT %ERRORLEVEL%==0 exit 1 if EXIST %dic%_old.xml del %dic%_old.xml move %dic%.xml %dic%_old.xml move %dic%_new.xml %dic%.xml goto end :error echo Usage: merge.cmd [lng [dic]] echo where echo lng - language code, "en" by default echo dic - base of dictionary file name, "dictionary" by default. :end @echo on 4. The line "call makemes <new_lng>" is appended to a makeallmess.cmd. Then messages files are updated by running makeallmess.cmd, where makemes.cmd is: @echo off SET CLASSPATH=.;..\WEB-INF\lib\xalan-2.2.0.jar;..\WEB-INF\lib\xerces-1.4.4.jar set lng=%1 set mes=messages if NOT "%lng%"=="" set mes=messages_%lng% if "%lng%"=="" set lng=en set dic=%2 if "%dic%"=="" set dic=dictionary java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN %dic%.xml -XSL convert.xsl -OUT %mes%.xml -PARAM lang %lng% @echo on ========================================= in the case (2): 1. The common dictionary.xml is edited to change/add translations. 2. makeallmess.cmd is used to update messages files. Note: 1) All the stuff is located in a sub-folder of a <cocoon based app folder>. 2) After any changes it is necessary to restart the server to get updated translations for a client. Best regards.
