Language Translation by End User

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a German client for which we are developing a Web dynpro

Project. Using xlf files, we are showing all Labels and Message Pool

messages in German and English language. xlf files are part of

the project.

German client have many customers from different

countries. If they want to edit existing xlf files or add new xlf

files for their customers what will be the procedure? How can our

client without depending on us do that? Is it possible? Is there any viable solution?

Thanks and Regards,

Yes. It is possible and quite straightforward.

1) Go to Navigator perspective in NWDS

2) Under src\packages\<yourpackage>\ find .xlf files

3) Do a copy & paste. don't forget to rename the new file with

<actualname>_<lang.specification>.xlf

4) set default language as preferred language for the browser

That's it.

Hi Nikhil,

Thanks for response. I know how to Internationalize a Web Dynpro

Project. Whatever steps you specified, I know that. Just want to

know how our German customer will be able to do it. As of now,

we have deployed our WD application into their J2EE server.

According to them some of the translation we had made is incorrect.

Now they want to make changes. So how can they do that? Also,

if they want to add any new language for Message pool messages or

View Text Elements, how will they do that? Is it that everytime, we

have to do it on our side and then deploy in their J2EE Server? Can't

they do it on their own without relying on us?

Thanks and Regards

Hi

Procedure is same which you adopted to enter a new .xlf file for German language.

Create new .xlf files for each text in required languages and

Text will be displayed as per browser's default language.

Hi Mandeep,

Thanks for response. My question is how can an end user do that?

We will just deploy ear file into their system. The thing is how can

an end user, our client do that? How can client add additional xlf or

edit existing xlf files?

I think it is possible. I didn't tried editing .xlf file with notepad.

you can open .ear file with Winrar and find .xlf file inside the path \<DC\_com\gen\deploy\<your package>.

try to edit it and redeploy. I think it is only possible for default profile(.xlf) file.

good luck.

Hi Nikhil,

Ok I will try what you suggested in your second message. Can you

think of any better way?

Thanks and Regards,

better way would be changing and fixing it in the studio itself and redeploying it to their J2EE server.
