Roller 3.0 locale support works wrong in velocity templates
I have a unique weblog in my Roller 3.0 system configured to support
multiples languages:
Internationalization Settings/
I publish my weblog in multiple languages ... checked
And I had created 2 entries in 2 different languages: english and spanish.
But the velocity templates retrieving messages from
ApplicationResources_XX.properties, are showing randomly localized messages!
For example, the message for the key "weblogEntriesPager.single.home" shows
the value from ApplicationResources.properties. At the same time, the entry
"comments.disabled" shows the value for ApplicationResources_es.properties!
This happens both in entries created with locale english and in entries
created with locale spanish (es).
And if I type the locale as part of the url as in
"...mywebloghandle/en/entry/XXXX", that locale is totally ignored, the
entries still show the wrong behavior I just related before.
The guide http://rollerweblogger.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=LocalizationGuide
only says that:
"... the locale used to display Roller application pages (editing and
administration) is determined by the user's profile locale setting."
¿How is the locale retrieved from the velocity templates when they do a
$text.get("key") ?¿how can I fix this to make the velocity templates use the
locale when specified in the url?
My config is: Roller 3.0 (from binaries), Fedora Core 5, Java 1.5.0_9 and
Tomcat 5.5.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the soon reply, Alex.
I will check the roller-dev mailing list in search for some more info.
The option "Show my weblog entries from all languages on my home page" when
unchecked is working well on my system, i.e. showing the entries in one
locale, but *ONLY* if the locale is added to url (ant that's fine for me).
But the location of the messages is still a rare mix, even when the keys are
present in all the ApplicationResources for the locales I'm using. Exact
like your system, the calendar of the blog localizes very well. It seems
that Roller is looking for localizated messages in a different manner in
each subsystem: Calendar, admin pages and velocity templates.
The fact of using Struts+JSP's for some presentation tasks, and Velocity for
others is doing a very hard job to find the source of this problem.

Oooops sorry... I posted my topic in the roller-dev mailing list....
For your information, here is the first anwsers I got for my questions...
You may join the roller-dev mailing list if you want to watch this topic.
Sincerely

=================================================================
Hi Allen,
First of all, thanks for this useful piece of information.
I confirm that with my version 3.0 (downloaded on November 21st) has the
following problem:
* If I leave "Show my weblog entries from all languages on my home page"
unchecked, in the frontpage (accessed without passing any language id in the
URI) I still have all my posts, even those defined with a locale different
of the main blog.
-> I'm gonna re-install v3.0 and test v3.1 to see if it can solve anything
Concerning the second point, I set the weblog with the locale "Spanish" (es)
and created a post with locale spanish.
I'm using the $text.get(" macro.weblog.postedby") to get the text in my
template.
In any case, it displays "Posted by". I checked in WEB-INF/classes and
ApplicationResources_es.properties (for spanish, coming with the default
install of Roller 3.0) and the macro.weblog.postedby exists and is set to
"Enviado por"
So you say:
> So to fix this should just be a matter of making sure the bundles are

Does it mean that the bundle ApplicationResources_es.properties, coming with
the default install of Roller 3.0, is corrupted ?
Did I do any mistake ?
Thanks in advance for your precious help,
Alex
