How to translate whole portlet content by language customization

[Juhi Kumari, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hi
According to requirement I have to display my website only in two languages, English and Arabic.
For this I customize the language_ar.properties file using hooks in liferay606.
But when I select the Arabic language then body content is not getting translated into Arabic.
I have to display everything in arabic.
If any idea plz help!

Regards
Juhi

By body content you means what user is writing on portal ?

With Language.properties we customize the text which is shown standard by liferay for example , Button text , Success message to user

Are you talking about the web content portlet?

Have you created English and Arabic versions of the web content?

There may be some hardcoded messages left. Please attach a screen shot so we'll know exactly where it is.

Hi
Its a plugins portlet where I am adding a book in database.
With one label 'Add Book :' abd two buttons 'Submit' and 'Cancel'. Now I want that 'Add Book', 'Submit' and 'Cancel' should also display in arabic if I select Arabic language.
Hope you got the point.

Following would be useful for you

Define language file
In portlet xml

<resource-bundle>content.Language</resource-bundle>

The file Language.properties in src folder (src/content/Language.properties) must be having english translations

e.g

book=Book
book-saved-successfully=Book Saved Successfully
bookDeleted=The Book has been deleted


Translating messages to multiple languages

Import following tag in ant build file after import

<target name="build-lang">
<antcall target="build-lang-cmd">
<param name="lang.dir" value="docroot/WEB-INF/src/content" />
<param name="lang.file" value="Language" />
</antcall>
</target>

Save the file and run

ant build-lang

No use. It didn't work for me

Hi
I got the answer. For translating all contents first I put that variable in Language_ar.properties file and then in jsp put this line
<%= LanguageUtil.format(pageContext, "submit", "Submit") %>.
Now it is working fine.

Can anyone helpe me?
