A central aspect of internationalization is the translatability of the texts that are displayed on the user interface. For this reason, an international application must not contain any language-specific text elements in its source code. You must define these texts in the Message Editor.

To make the translation process smoother, we recommend that you store any frequently used language-specific texts that you have defined in the Layout editor, such as labels or table headers, in Simple Types.

Chandu,

i18n is just a short form for writing internationalization - that is take first and last letter of internationalization and skip over 18 letters in middle. In WD java, we use java.util.ResourceBundle class to manage language specific text at runtime. The i18n concept in WD separates text strings from programs that manipulate those strings. Therefore WD Java class files, metadata files and dictionary simple files do not contain any hard coded language specific text.

For each type of entity that can contain language specific text, a corresponging .XLF file is created. The texts in these .XLF files can be translated and stored in locale specific .XLF files which will be used depending upon the current locale.

For more details about i18n, please visit [this link|;.

Siva and Ramesh have already given you links to try out some examples of multi-language web dynpro applications. They will help you understand this concept better.

All the best.

Vishwas.
