Changing Masterlanguage in WebDynpro

[htammen]

Hi,

is it possible to change the masterlanguage of a WebDynpro project?

Unfortunatly I´ve created my project with masterlanguage english (default). Now I need to switch to german.

I´ve already changed all "en" entities to "de" in all .wd files of the folder /src/ and in the file .tssapinfo in the root folder of my project.

This does not have any effect. Where do I have to adjust the language?

Thx

Hi Helmut,

if the masterlanguage is already set as "en" within a project, you nee to set first in every .wd* file (Web Dynpro Metadata) and in every ,dt-file (dictionary metadata) the attribute "masterLanguage" to "de". If you use an "older" version of the IDE, there will be probably a lot of *_en.xlf-files. All these files need to be renamed to *_de.xlf. Also, you need to edit manually: rename source-language="en" to source-language="de" and .

After all, a rebuild should create the german .properties-Files.

Please let me know, if that mechanism works.

Best regards, Karin

Thanks Karin,

I´ve already done all the things you described (don´t have "_en.xlf", only ...xlf) and rebuilt the project several times.

After each rebuild there are still only

Resource[compname]Comp.properties that holds the texts I edited in the Layout and

Resource[compname]Comp_en.properties which is empty

in the gen_wdp/packages/.../wdp directory

Any suggestions?

Hello Helmut,

the next thing you could try is to delete all _en.properties files manually and then rebuild the project again.

Please let me know, if that works.

Hi Karin,

deleted all *_en.properties file which where only present in bin, gen_wdp and gen_ddic folders. After rebuild no new propertiy files were generated. After creating archive the *_en.properties files were back again.

I´ve also checked once again if all "en" entries were replaced by "de" in the files under src folder.

Any more ideas?

Thanks

Hi Helmut,

next step: could you please check if within workbench preferences "perform build automatically" is turned on? If not, please turn it on, delete your bin-folder completely!

Again, please let me know

Best regards, Karin

Hi Karin,

the option was turned on. I deleted the bin folder and all properties files in gen_wdp folder, rebuilt the project, created the archive and again there was the *_en.properties file

Thanks again

Hi Helmut,

please check the Window->Preferences->Web Dynpro->Generation options. Maybe the generation language is English and that is the problem.

Hope that helps.

Hi Karin and Helmut,

by the way, wouldn't it be great, the design time tools could change the master language of a project after the creation automatically? The necessary steps to do this are well documented in this thread already )

Best regards,

Stefan
