Re: Questions about JSPWiki internationalization

[David Gao]

Luca is right about this. We may need to remove the directory <JSPWiki-Home>/WEB-INF/i18n in standard distribution and put different language translations in separate jars in <JSPWiki-Home>/WEB-INF/lib. I have just finished Simplified Chinese translation, and the translation is now being verified in my wiki environment. I will provide Simplified Chinese after this. Another stupid question is: how can I submit my files to JSPWiki, via JIRA or simply in CVS?  David Gao ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -------- Original Message -------- Yes ... but it also took me a while to realize that what's inside <JSPWiki-Home>/WEB-INF/i18n is useless within Tomcat (unless moved under classes ...). Maybe it would be better to move it away from there in the standard distro. As for the 1/n jars ...  in similar situations I use to have a separate jar for all 'standard supported'  languages to avoid cluttering .... which does not prevent one to add a new language just by adding under classes or, if things should grow too much (hope so!) to simply substitute the languages jar with what's really needed. Choice to you but let me know as I will provide in a while an Italian version :-) ..

Do I have to add my localization resources to "<JSPWiki-Home>/WEB-INF/classes/" directory in order to have i18n feature? Is there any information about how i18n works in current JSPWiki design? The easiest way is to create a JAR file of your property files, and drop that into WEB-INF/lib. Putting them in classes directory is a bit suspect, as it creates clutter. It does not matter where you put the files, as long as they are somewhere in the classpath. Though, this reminds me that we should probably create separate JAR files for each localization (except for default English). It would be a bit cleaner, though it would add clutter, too. /Janne
