RE: How to change language for custom portlet?

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Hi all,

I have created one custom portlet inside (D:\liferay-portal-6.0.6\tomcat-6.0.29\webapps\ROOT\html\portlet\book\view.jsp). It has the book details.

If I change the language using Language portlet I want to change the language for my custom portlet.

I want change language for arabic language.

My portlet has the following details,

          
		         
		            Book Name
		             Author Name
		             Category Name
			     SubCategory Name
		             Delete
	                  
	

If I change language for this portlet to arabic, then details like Book Name, Author Name etc, should change to arabic language.

any help?

Are you having any difficulties with the default Liferay's I18N techniques using the language property files?

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

I dont have any idea about that.

I dont know how to do this.

Could you give me any best link to achieve this?

[Ravi Kumar Gupta, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Create a Language.properties, and other properties for the locale you want, for your portlet. And then in jsp use
<liferay-ui:message key="key-to-book-name" />
Now whenever whatever language you will select, it should be converted.

its correct , Refer this link for more details

I tried but no luck. Here i have attached my war.

Pls correct me the error.

[Ravi Kumar Gupta, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

use <resource-bundle>content/Language</resource-bundle> in portlet.xml after <supports> </supports> tag

HTH

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Not getting output. could u see the war file once again pls.

[Tejas Kanani, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Hi,

I've checked your war, somehow Language properties files is not getting copied to classes folder.
All three properties files should be inside classes/content folder.

Somehow its not build properly.

Please use attached war. It should work.

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Thanks Tejas,
Its a valuable reply.

But I got the final problem. I am getting undefined language format.

This is my jsp file,

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/ui" prefix="liferay-ui" %>
<portlet:defineobjects />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<liferay-ui:message key="category" /><br>
<liferay-ui:message key="authorname" /><br>
<liferay-ui:message key="bookname" /><br>
<liferay-ui:message key="key-to-book-name" />

See the attachment file..

[Hitoshi Ozawa, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Try inserting below in your jsp.

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

I included
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
but no luck.

could you pls check my war file.

[Ravi Kumar Gupta, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

i guess you need to change the language.properties file for arabic properly.

Change it using native2ascii command.

[Hitoshi Ozawa, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Follow Ravi's advice on converting your properties file to ascii. You'll have to modify Liferay otherwise.

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

I tried my best but i cant do it. Could anyone of you correct my war file and attach it here pls?

[Hitoshi Ozawa, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Are you restarting your server after native2ascii your ar_SA properties file? Stop Liferay, delete the temp directory, delete the Language portlet, start Liferay,
deploy Language portlet.

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

You can get here.

Could you create new thread for new post. Already some discussions are going on. Create new one here

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Still I am not able to get the solution. May be I couldn't the native2ascii command properly.

Could you pls how to do native2ascii command?

Pls correct my war file.

[Juhi Kumari, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Hi Mani,
You can use this command from command line

native2ascii -encoding utf8 source-file target-file

.
Use your native file as source.

Regards
Juhi

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Hmm well thanks Juhi,

There is no place of native2ascii command. I followed the steps in Liferay_User_Interface_Development book(page no.102).

And got the solution

Follow this steps properly,

1. Open Liferay Plugins SDK console.

create palmtree-language-sample "Palm-Tree Multiple Language sample portlet"
4. Navigate (cd) to ${liferay.plugins.sdk}\portlets\palmtree-language-sample-portlet\docroot\WEB-INF folder.
5. Create a file named liferay-hook.xml to support both English and
Brazil Portuguese
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->

<hook>
<language-properties>content/Language_en_US.properties</language-properties>
<language-properties>content/Language_pt_BR.properties</language-properties>
</hook>
6. Navigate (cd) to ${liferay.plugins.sdk}\portlets\palmtree-language-sample-portlet\docroot\WEB-INF folder.
7. Run the following command:
mkdir src\content
8. Navigate (cd) to ${liferay.plugins.sdk}\portlets\palmtree-language-sample-portlet\docroot\WEB-INF\src\content folder.
9. Create three language properties files named Language.properties, Language_en_US.properties, and Language_pt_BR.properties.
10. Open Language.properties file and add the following line:
palmtree-language-sample-display-text=This is a sample display text in default English
11. Open Language_en_US.properties file and add the following line:
palmtree-language-sample-display-text=This is a sample display text in English
12. Open Language_pt_BR.properties file and add the following line. Please note that the Portuguese text below is from Google Translator.
palmtree-language-sample-display-text=Este é um texto de exibição de amostra em Português
13. Open ${liferay.plugins.sdk}\portlets\palmtree-language-sample-portlet\docroot\view.jsp and add the following lines:
&lt;%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %&gt;

<portlet:defineobjects />
This is the <b>Palm Tree Multiple Language sample portlets</b> portlet.
<br><br>
<liferay-ui:message key="palmtree-language-sample-display-text" />
14. Navigate (cd) to ${liferay.plugins.sdk}\portlets\palmtree-language-sample-portlet folder.
15. Run command "ant" to build and package the portlet WAR file.

Mazhar

[Mani kandan, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Try this in your jsp file,

<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
