             Summary: Implement multi-language support for Ambari Web user interface
                 Key: AMBARI-13139
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-13139
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ambari-web
            Reporter: F. Canan Pembe Muhtaroglu
            Priority: Minor


Currently, externalized strings can be defined for English only (in messages.js). One should be able to define those strings also for other languages to support internationalization.

As a solution, a small change in initialize.js (in ambari-web) is proposed. In this solution, the language of the web user interface is selected according to the language setting of the browser. This is an approach also used in some other web-based solutions. The default locale is defined as English. This applies when there is no support for the current language of the browser.

For this solution to work, a "locales" directory should be created in ambari-web (e.g. app/locales/) and current messages.js file should be moved to app/locales/en/ where "en" stands for English. When other languages will be added, only a new messages file needs to be added to the directory for that language in "locales" directory.
