Localization of form-validation messages in WebDynpro

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We're trying to solve this issue:

How to get localized (e.g. Slovak) messages which are result of form validation?

Situation: there is a context atribute, it's type is a simple type and this attribute is bound to an UI input element. When the form is submitted, every such attribute it's checked against it's simple-type.

So the question is how to get these messages - when validating automatically - for example:

"Enter the value in the format 25.11.1987"

in defined language? Is there a way how to configure/translate them?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi Radoslav,

You need use Message Pool for showing any data in the WEB Dynpro Applicaiton screen for intenationalization.

Please refer to this link might help in you scenario :

[Developing International Web Dynpro Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/internationalization%20of%20web%20dynpro%20applications.pdf]

Hope it helps

Arun: This document shows only how to translate an application, so this is not the case.

The point is how to localize automatic messages NOT WRITTEN BY DEVELOPER but generated by WD framework, during form submitting and validation.

Hi,

Not sure about this, but there should be an option to change the settings somewhere on the server.

Hi Radoslav,

default dictionary messages are located in archive:

/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<SYSNO>/j2ee/cluster/server<n>/bin/ext/tc_ddicddicruntime/SapDictionaryTypesRuntime.jar

unpack it and check directory:

com/sap/dictionary/runtime/messages

if file:

messages_<your_locale_code>.properties

is missing, simply create new one, pack it and overwrite archive on your server

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi,

To achieve this, u need to internationalize your application, so that locale specific texts are displayed. U can find documents on the SDN site to internationalize a webdynpro application.
