Derby messages localization
I'm trying to translate the Derby messages into
Brazilian Potuguese. I've started by the tools
messages (org.apache.derby.loc.toolsmessages). I used
NetBeans to add the pt_BR locale to this file and
after this I translated the messages in the pt_BR
column, but I can't see the translated messages when I
use sysinfo or ij.
I'm using Fedora Core 2, the locale is
LANG=pt_BR.iso88591, I created a database with
territory=pt_BR and I use localizeddisplay on. When I
execute ij> VALUES CURRENT_DATE;
It shows:
1
-----------------------
8 de Setembro de 2004 <-- Brazilian Portuguese
1 row selected <-- English
What is wrong ? I couldn't find the csLocale_pt_BR.jar
file. Is that the problem ?
Thanks,
Halley

Dear Andrew,
Thank you very much for your help. I changed the file
${derby.source}/build.xml as shown bellow:
568a569
>org/apache/derby/loc/sysinfoMessages_pt_BR.properties,
569a571
>org/apache/derby/loc/toolsmessages_pt_BR.properties,
662a665
>org/apache/derby/loc/sysinfoMessages_pt_BR.properties,
663a667
>org/apache/derby/loc/toolsmessages_pt_BR.properties,
and the file
${derby.source}/java/tools/org/apache/derby/loc/build.xml
as show bellow:
21a22
><include name="sysinfoMessages_pt_BR.properties"/>
22a24
><include name="toolsmessages_pt_BR.properties"/>
and translated a line in
toolsmessages_pt_BR.properties to test. It is working
fine. When I finish the translation I will contribute
with the files.

IBM did not contribute the translated message files for Derby. It is my
understanding that they are looking into doing this, but there are no
definite plans for when or how that will happen. There will be
translated messages in the Cloudscape 10.0 commercial release.
That said, feel free to translate the messages and contribute them to
Derby. For toolsmessages, you should create a new file,
toolsmessages_pt_BR.properties in java/tools/org/apache/derby/loc and
put the translated messages there. You will then need to update the
build.xml in that directory so that the messages are copied over to
${out.dir}/org/apache/derby/loc. This should make the translated
messages available to the tools.
If you would like sysinfo to display that support for your locale is
present, you will need to generate an info file for your locale. See
Main.reportLocales() in java/tools/org/apache/derby/impl/tools/sysinfo
(lines 326-413) to see how locale support information is reported.
Sysinfo determines presence of support for a particular locale not from
the presence of message files, but from the presence of a locale info
properties file, org.apache.derby.info.locale_{locale}.properties. This
file should contain proper values for the derby.locale.* properties
that reportLocales() tries to look up:
derby.locale.external.name, with the form 'Locale Name [ISO_code]' e.g.:
derby.locale.external.name= Portuguese/Brazilian [pt_BR]
The following properties correspond to the properties in
org.apache.derby.loc.DBMS.properties:
derby.locale.version.major
derby.locale.version.minor
derby.locale.version.maint
derby.locale.build.number
The values of these properties are passed to
org.apache.derby.iapi.services.info.ProductVersionHolder and sysinfo
then reports the version via that classes' fullVersionString() method.
As a side note, better locale support (from a build/tools perspective)
would be a good thing to put on Derby's to-do list.
