Scout uses the java.util.ResourceBundle mechanism for native language support. So whatever language files you have in your <project-prefix>.shared/resources/texts/*.properties are taken as translation base.

Example setup:

  • <project-prefix>.shared/resources/texts/Texts.properties
  • <project-prefix>.shared/resources/texts/Texts_fr.properties

If your application starts with the -vmargs -Duser.language=fr or eclipse.exe -nl=fr the translations in Texts_fr.properties are considered. In case of any other user language the translations in Texts.properties are considered.
