Some questions on localization.
Hello all,
I'm having some difficulties in trying to localize my application using
*.properties files.
I'm using this syntax:
Home.html
<span class="txtSmall" key="trans1">Placeholder text</span>
Home.properties
trans1=English Text
Home_pt_PT.properties
trans1=Portuguese Text
But the resulting HTML is this:
<span class="txtSmall" key="trans1">[TRANS1]</span>
The *.properties files are in the same directory than the *.html files, and
strangely enough when using a translated template (Home_pt_PT.html) instead
of a *.properties the translation works.
I must be doing something wrong because I have a Border component that gets
properly localized using the *.properties files approach.
Actually not even the Border componet is free of problems. Another issue I'm
facing is that the text in the enclosed Submit component (the "value"
attribute) isn't getting localized.
The code:
<input jwcid="@Submit" value="string:button1" class="button1 />
It's getting rendered as:
<input type="submit" value="string:button1" class="button1 />
Any hints that would help me to solve these problems are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Luis Neves

Try "message:key". I made the same mistake a few days ago.

Sorry, the docs are off. It is now "message:". This was discussed on the list a ways back.

According to the documentation:
String bindings (to localized strings) in HTML templates are now in the format
attribute="string:key".
Well... this isn't working. The template is being rendered as is. There isn't
a substitution with the localized text.
For example:
<a jwcid="@DirectLink" title="string:k1" ...><span key="k1" /></a>
Renders as:
<a href="..." title="string:k1">Localized text</a>
Is this a bug or the "attribute='string:key'" syntax doesn't work with
informal parameters?

The properties files should be with the page specifications, in the WEB-INF folder.
