Localization for the Activiti Designer?

[prace]

hi all,

is there any work in progress to localize the UI of the Activiti Designer?

I lookes at the source code and it seems like all the strings have to be externalized and then there needs to be some language packs …

thx

Hi,

No not at the moment, but first all strings have to be externalized as you said.
That shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Are you looking for specifc language packs? And can you help us with implementing these language packs?

Best regards,

[prace]

hi,

we are looking for a german language pack and maybe we can do some work on that. I need to check that ..

bye

Hi,

Okay. If you can help me with the German localization, I'm certainly willing to implement localization in the Designer codebase.
Just let me know.

Best regards,

sounds good.
We can help with the localization to german. How to proceed?

bye

Hi,

Do you have any plan to support Asian languages?

If you want, I can help with the Korean localization.

Hi,

If we have the localization implemented in the Designer, every language contribution would be great.
I'll first implement the localization in the source code and then I'll post a request for help with the language files on the user forum, is that a good approach?

Great!

Hi,

I have 2 questions about this localization.


1. Will it include localization of the runrime process image?

I get progress image by the below method:

imageStream = ProcessDiagramGenerator.generateDiagram(
    processDefinitionEntity, "png",
    runtimeService.getActiveActivityIds(wfInstanceId));

This is defferent from the disigner process image till now.


2. Will it include localized properties and messages also?

Especially in custom extension, can I specify multi-lingual property names, help messages, property items, etc?


Best regards,

After some thought, I think that the question number 2 on the above post is not about localization, but about multi-lingual support.

If we can design process that can be viewed on their native language all over the world, it will be good.

How do you think?

And can this be included with this localization?
