Alfresco localization depends on two aspects:
- Configuring supported 'languages'; all supported locales are set using xml inside the Alfresco web app.
(as will be mentioned later)
- Local messages to display; usually are represented by properties files,
in the form of values to predefined message keys.
Each language has its own set of files ending with local suffix.
(ex: webclient_ar_EG.properties)
In this tutorial, i'm going to add the Arabic language support in Alfresco.
Using Omega-T for translating display messages files,
(properties files inside alfresco/messages).
(1) In Omega-T create new project with the following settings:
name: alfresco_ar_EG
source files language: EN-US
translated files language: AR-EG
(2) Copy messages folder inside the deployed Alfresco web app:
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/messages
(excluding all files that ends with '_en_US.properties')
(3) Import alfresco messages to be translated:
Project -> Import source files ->
(select properties files inside the recent copied folder)
(4) Start translating messages segment, you can start with webclient.properties,
to see your local messages displayed in the default Alfresco home & login pages.
(refer to Omega-T help for details about how to translate)
(5) When finished, Omega-T will produce output message files ending with local suffix:
'ar_EG.properties'.
You'll find output files in the 'target' of Omega-T project:
<path-of-alfresco_ar_EG>/target
(6) Copy all output files inside 'target' to the deployed Alfresco web app custom messages:
tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/messages
(7) Configure Alfresco supported languages:
add the Arabic-eg local by updating the file
shared/classes/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml:
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages" replace="true">
<languages>
<language locale="en_US">English</language>
<language locale="ar_EG">Arabic</language>
</languages>
</config>
(make sure 'languages' configuration are not commented in the previous xml)
(8) restart tomcat to see Arabic interface.
