internationialization and rich:calendar

[ajanz]

hi,

i want to use the rich:calendar component.

i read in the documentation i could change the labels using application resource bundle. but which var name must be used?


i defined

 <application>
 <resource-bundle>
 <base-name>mybundle</base-name>
 <var>msg</var>
 </resource-bundle>
 </application>

what must i use in the var tag?

you should perform nothing except define the bundle and add proper properties. Calendar will automatically handle them.

i defined

RICH_CALENDAR_TODAY_LABEL=Heute
todayLabel=Auch Heute

in my bundle. i verified that it is loaded by binding todayLabel to an outputLabel on the page.

But i still got "today" on the calendar component.

what could i have done wrong?

1.) create your bundles somewhere in your classpath like that:

(richfaces_de.properties)

#### Calendar Labels ####

RICH_CALENDAR_APPLY_LABEL = Übernehmen
RICH_CALENDAR_TODAY_LABEL = Heute
RICH_CALENDAR_CLOSE_LABEL = Schliessen
RICH_CALENDAR_OK_LABEL = OK
RICH_CALENDAR_CLEAN_LABEL = Zurücksetzen
RICH_CALENDAR_CANCEL_LABEL = Abbruch

2.) define you bundle in faces-config as following:

<application>
<message-bundle>
 de.project.web.message.richfaces_en</message-bundle>
<message-bundle>
 de.project.web.message.richfaces_de</message-bundle>
</application>

The rest goes without additional efforts, just place your calendar on your jsp and the current language will be displayed if the respective property file is available.

ok thank you. now it works.


i used myfile_de.properties instead of richefaces_de.properties.

name shouldn't have any impact as long as you follow the "name_language.properties" pattern and declare it with "<message-bundle>" in your faces-config.xml.
