Hi,
I am a little confused after I examine the provided language packs.
Is it enough to translate only these 3 files:
action-config.properties
messages.properties
rule-config properties ?

There are other properties files like webclient.properties, action-service.properties… Do we need to translate them or not?

Hi,

You must translate all files.
The most important in my opinion is the webclient.properties which contains most messages from the web interface. Anyway, all other messages are used here and there through the web interface. So if you don't translate them all, you'll always receive some english messages.

And yes, this is a long work. Happy language packing

Laurent.

Hi,

Is there a need to translate the patch-service.properties ?
I think this file is used once, patch-service result is logged in catalina.out (or relevant jboss log file) and in alfresco.log, and the patch is applied before Alfresco web-client has loaded its configuration files about language definition.

So i think a translated file of patch-service.properties won't be used.

Can you confirm ?

Laurent.
