Localization is the term you are looking for. Workdesk 4.1.1.0 comes preconfigured with German, English, French, Spanish, Italien and Japanese language. See the following section in your owbootstrap.xml:


    <defaultlocal detectbrowserlocale="true">en</defaultlocal>

    <!– The available language which the user can select from (must be installed with resource bundle) –>
    <availablelocals display='true'>
        <lang displayname="English">en</lang>
        <lang displayname="Français">fr</lang>
        <lang displayname="Deutsch">de</lang>
        <lang displayname="Español">es</lang>
        <lang displayname="Italiano">it</lang>
        <lang displayname="日本語">ja</lang>
        <lang displayname="Română">ro</lang>
        <lang displayname="Debug Mode (for developers only)">debugmode</lang>
    </availablelocals>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If detectbrowser locale is set to true, the language changes in the UI depending from the language setting of your browser! You can also select the language manually on the Workdesk login page using the language selection dropdown in the upper right corner.

There is also a mechanism to overwrite predefined labels, e.g. if you want other namings.

Please use the Workdesk documentation available from
http://docs.alfresco.com

In the <strong>Configuration and Planning guide</strong> for Alfresco Workdesk you will find a section <strong>Custom translation and localization</strong> describing how to overwrite predefined labels.

It worked like a charm.
I searched for localization properties files, but never thought about looking for a jar.
You never stop to learn new things.
Thanks a lot
With kind regards
Christian
