ART-DECOR supports multiple languages. Everything is based on language + region, e.g. American English is en-US, and German German is de-DE, while Swiss German is de-CH. ART-DECOR comes with en-US, de-DE and nl-NL out of the box. This page explains what needs to be done to add a new language.
The procedure is currently a bit cumbersome due to the different origins and technologies that all need something just a little different. We will make it easier where possible.
ART
- just like any ART-DECOR package there's a resources/form-resources.xml resource that needs to list your language of choice. Note that the ART package determines which languages the user/server supports. Other packages need to support at least these and extra are ignored
- Under resources/*.xml you will find various menu config files, that need to support your language
- Various xforms carry inline instances with language marked text. These need to be externalized at some point.
- Server buildingBlockRepositories have language marked names. If they are already configured when a new language is added, they are not visible to project in the new language but in en-US (remove/re-add to fix)
DECOR
- DECOR.xsd / DECOR-datatypes.xsd -- needed for many of the ART xforms and other places. When a language is missing, en-US is substituted
- DECOR-i18n.xml -- needed for publication. When a language is missing, en-US is substituted
- REST-i18n.xml -- needed for services. When a language is missing, en-US is substituted
Other
- resources/form-resources.xml
