Schema localization

Contents

Labels and texts in schemas can be displayed in the users preferred language (based on browser settings).

Simply add an i18n="key" attribute to the form elements. The key mustmatch an entry in your application’s src/main/resources/i18n/phrases.properties file.

Schema localization uses the same properties files format as the rest of XP. Please consult the framework localization docs for more details.

Localization is optional. If the i18n attribute is not specified, the value of the XML element will be used.

Example

Below is an example of a content type where localization has been enabled.

Localized content type schema 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<content-type>
  <display-name i18n="person.display-name">Person</display-name>
  <super-type>base:structured</super-type>
  <form>
    <input type="TextLine" name="name">
      <label i18n="person.name.label">Name</label>
      <occurrences minimum="1" maximum="1"/>
    </input>
    <input type="TextLine" name="age">
      <label i18n="person.age.label">Age</label>
      <occurrences minimum="1" maximum="1"/>
    </input>
    <input type="imageSelector" name="photo">
      <label i18n="person.photo.label">Photo</label>
      <help-text i18n="person.photo.help-text">Passport photo</help-text>
      <occurrences minimum="0" maximum="1"/>
    </input>
  </form>
</content-type>

Supported Fields

In general, the following schema elements support the i18n localization attribute:

  • displayName

  • label

  • help-text

  • description

Other elements may also support localization, simply try adding the attribute to see if it works.

Translation files

The translated texts for each of the i18n keys should be placed in the corresponding phrases.properties file within the same application where the schema is defined.

Steps to add the translations for a schema:

  1. Add or edit one file per language supported:

    src/main/resources/i18n/phrases_<language-code>.properties

    Example files to support English and Norwegian 
    src/main/resources/i18n/phrases.properties
src/main/resources/i18n/phrases_en.properties
src/main/resources/i18n/phrases_no.properties

  2. Add the i18n keys from the schema in each of the phrases.properties files.

    Each line should have the key, an equals = sign, and the text in the specific language.

    phrases_en.properties 
    person.display-name=Person
person.name.label=Name
person.age.label=Age
person.photo.label=Photo
person.photo.help-text=Passport photo
    phrases_no.properties 
    person.display-name=Person
person.name.label=Navn
person.age.label=Alder
person.photo.label=Bilde
person.photo.help-text=Passbilde

  3. fallback file phrases.properties file

    It is recommended to have default phrases file. This will be used if the translation for the browser language cannot be found.
