Overview

• Resource bundles in core, plugins and project are loaded. Core resources are overridden by plugin resources, plugin resources are overridden in as they are defined in the farcryInit tag (last overrides first), and project resources override all.
• Locales available in the application now get defined in the farcryInit tag (locales attribute)
• Webtop localisation has been refactored
• COAPI localisation - property labels, fieldsets, steps, etc are now translated
• Resource Bundle Plugin
• Resource bundles for core, common plugins, projects
• Engage community for translations

Webtop

Previously the webtop was translated by setting the label attribute in the xml to a variable (refering to the resource bundle struct in memory). With the refactoring, the label attribute is used to specify the DEFAULT VALUE. If the menu item has no corresponding resource, the default will be used. If it does it will be translated. This process also applies to the Inline Documentation feature.

By default the menu item is mapped to a resource key in the format webtop.sectionid.subsectionid etc. The attribute is then added to this base key to differentiate it from other translated attributes. e.g. webtop.sectionid.subsectionid@label.

The base key used for a menu item can be overridden by setting the rbkey attribute. This means that if you have an equivelent item in two places on your webtop you can override one to refer to the other. NOTE: this is not recommended - context is a significant factor when translating.

COAPI

Translations of type, rule, and form text can currently be accessed through various i18n methods. In most cases these won't be necessary as all formtool tags are now automatically translated.
