Content model i18n strings

[chrisokelly]

Hi guys,

I have been able to set up my custom content model in both share and alfresco web client without serious issue but have a few questions about the i18n strings I can set.

I only used a few different types of strings to localize. I used aspect.aspectname, type.typename and modelprefix_modelname.property.propertyname.title, which seemed to satisfy every place I would see the aspects, types or properties.I noticed, though, that for the properties I can also set a .description. Where would I be seeing these strings if I were to set them?

Similarly I am wondering about the prefix_model.description string. Whereabouts is this used?

The description labels are set in the title attribute of the input fields of the form (for text fields, other form controls may use them differently), so they are displayed when you hover over the fields with your mouse.
Not sure where the prefix_model.description is used, but I've never seen it appear in the regular Share UI.

BTW There is another thing that you can localize. If you have a high enough version of Alfresco (not sure if this was included in 4.0.b), you can localize the constraint values of list constraints that are defined in your model.

Thanks Arnold, this answers exactly what I was asking.
