TEXTS
is a convenience class to access the default Text Provider Service used for the localization of the texts in the user interface.
Description
TEXTS.get("persons");
It is possible to use some Parameters:
String name = "Bob"; int age = 13; TEXTS.get("NameWithAge", name, age);
In this case, some placeholders for the parameters are needed in the translated text:
NameWithAge={0} is {1} years old;
properties files
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.
It is possible to edit these files in the Eclipse Scout SDK with the NLS Editor.
