Localization and Internationalization

 Top  Previous  Next

All components have internationalization support to make your application localizable.

 

To make your application localizable the below steps should be accomplished:

 

1. Define the default locale and other supported locales in the locale-config element of your application configuration file .

<locale-config>

<default-locale>en</default-locale>

<supported-locale>de</supported-locale>

<supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>

<supported-locale>es</supported-locale>

</locale-config>

 

2. Create the resource file for each supported locale. It will be usual property files.

 

resources_en.properties

resources_de.properties

resources_fr.properties

resources_es.properties

 

3. Define loadBundle tag on JSP page to specify which property file to use. For more information on using loadBundle see JSF documentation.

 

<f:loadBundle basename="testingapplication.resources" var="res" />

 

 

4. On JSP page you can retrieve the property from resource file by using the following syntax:

 

value="#{res.propertyName}"

 

You can see the localization example for each component in the testing application demo.
