Internationalization
From Emitrom
Introduction
Lienzo has been created with internationalization support in mind. All the strings used through out the framework are localized and default to the English language.
Lienzo employs the GWT built-in I18N mechanism which easily allows the support for multiple locales.
Configuration
In order to use internationalized characters, make sure that your host HTML file contains the charset=utf8 content type in the meta tag in the header:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
You must also ensure that all relevant source and .properties files are set to be in the UTF-8 charset in your IDE.
Adding support for a new locale
If you would like Lienzo to provide support for a specific locale, simply:
- Contact the developers and they will provide you with a list of all the strings found in the toolkit.
- Create a plain text file and provide the localized text needed for all the strings founds in the framework.
- Send the file to the developers.
- The new property file will then be added and provided as a bundle so everyone in the community benefits from the new supported locale.
