How to change "Language.properties" of a portlet

[Luca kk, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Hi all,
I try to change the "Language.properties" file in "WEB-INF/src/content"
of a portlet but I can't see the update when i restart tomcat (deleting work and temp directory).

Anybody knows why?
How can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Luca,

You need to create a hook for this purpose.

This link may help you in regard.

Hope this will help,

Thanks and Regards,

Have you specified any particular locale (<supported-locale>) in portlet.xml ?

I explain better.
In accessibility portlet, with default language EN, i have "Language.properties" file:

##
##	Portlet Infos
##
javax.portlet.title=Accessibility
javax.portlet.short-title=Accessibility
javax.portlet.keywords=This portlet provides theme display personalization for unauthenticated users.

##
##	Portlet Accessibility
##

accessibility.portlet-title=Accessibility settings

accessibility.back-to-normal=Back to normal
accessibility.background-color=Background color
accessibility.choose-a-color=Choose a color :
accessibility.field.navigation-under-content=Set navigation under content
accessibility.font-color=Font color
accessibility.font-size=Font size
accessibility.more-colors=More colors...
accessibility.preview=Preview
accessibility.selectable-color-is-x=This color is rgb-coded as: {0}

and Language_en_US.properties file:

I want to change the strings fron english to italian, for example:

accessibility.portlet-title=[b]Impostazione di accessibilità[/b]
accessibility.background-color=[b]Colore di sfondo[/b]
.....etc

How have I do?

Hi Apporva,
thanks for reply.
I never did a hook before but can I do a hook to only change
a properties file?

if yes, how?

Yea Luca, you can... Use the link that I've provided you in my previous post... Its very clear.

Thanks,

Hi Apporva,
I read your link but it isn't so clear.
Do I have to create an XML file?
And then, where do I have to put this file?
I develop with netbeans.

Thanks

[Apoorva Prakash, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Luca,

First of all, you have to create a new hook, and then you'll get XML file inside it. Make the necessary entry in it, and place the properties file in correct location.

Further, deploy it, and now you are done. Use the property. That's all.

Thanks and Regards,
Apoorva Prakash

Ok Apoorva,
now it's more clear.
But, how do I link the hook with accessibility portlet above said?

[Luca kk, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

In the "WEB-INF" directory of accessibility portlet there is a
"liferay-hook.xml" contains:

<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->


-<hook> <portal-properties>portal.properties</portal-properties> </hook>

Do I have to create a <language-properties> element in this file?

[Tejas Kanani, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

For overriding language properties file using hook you'll have to add below lines in xml file with the Language file needs to overridden.
i.e.

<language-properties>content/Language_es.properties</language-properties>

For more details,

Before going any further, are you trying to change messages in YOUR portlet or messages in liferay?
If it's your portlet, you don't need to create a hook.

Hi,

Can you please suggest how to create language property file for module wise,
suppose there are 3 modules in the project than property file may like

Language_en_module1.properties
Language_en_module2.properties
Language_en_module3.properties

Language_es_module1.properties
Language_es_module2.properties
Language_es_module3.properties

So i can pass the local variable with module name and the property key to get value.
