language resource bundle example

[grdzeli_kaci]

is there any sample about it ? i can't find anything.

i need language manipulation into seam,

i tryed by myself but it is not working

1.i have 2 properties file messages_en.properties and messages_ka.properties
both of them contains the same propertie for example
english
_userName=UserName

georgian
_userName=????????????


2. i have configured components.xml file

 <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.resourceBundle">
 <property name="bundleNames">
 <value>messages</value>
 </property>
 </component>

3. add this tab into build.xml file

<include name="messages_en.properties" />
<include name="messages_ka.properties" />

4. than into my login.xhtml file add language choose component

<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="font_style">
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="English" itemValue="en"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Georgian" itemValue="ka"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Deutsch" itemValue="de"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Francais" itemValue="fr"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>

and after this page i tryed to use Georgian properties but it does not working i got only english properties


is here anything wrong ?

is there any sample application about it ?

and i forget i have added this fragment into my faces-config.xml file

 <application>
 <locale-config>
 <default-locale>en</default-locale>
 <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>ka</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>de</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>
 </locale-config>
 <message-bundle>messages</message-bundle>
 </application>

I don't have any of those configs and resource bundles work a treat.

In your <h:selectOneMenu> tag, you don't specify where it is supposed to store the selected value.

Here is the code taken from the Seam v1.2 documentation:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeSelector.language}">
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="English" itemValue="en"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Deutsch" itemValue="de"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Francais" itemValue="fr"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton action="#{localeSelector.select}" value="#{messages['ChangeLanguage']}"/>

hi again,
i think that it is a bug in seam or jsf :(

i tryed this for three language : english (en) , german(de), francias (fr) and georegian(ka)

georgian is not working :(

code snippet

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeSelector.language}">
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="English" itemValue="en"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Deutsch" itemValue="de"/>
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="Francais" itemValue="fr"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton action="#{localeSelector.select}" value="#{messages['ChangeLanguage']}"/>

all works, but not ka(Georgian)

and one another question how i can use both login event and local selector event on one command button ?

I think the supported-locale's are only needed when NOT explictely listing the available languages in the selectOneMenu. So, when using the list in faces-config.xml then your language selector could look like this:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeSelector.localeString}">
 <f:selectItems value="#{localeSelector.supportedLocales}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton action="#{localeSelector.select}" value="#{messages['ChangeLanguage']}"/>

(taken from the Seam documentation)

But this is not the cause of your problem; waynebagguley already explained what's wrong.

If you want to change the language without a button then see HOWTO: override ThemeSelector (valueChangeListener, cookie name).

The locale "ka(Georgian)" is not supported by Java.

i think java supports ka(Georgian). I build example without seam, sample jsf project (or JSP project) and everithing works fine. here is my jsf example:

1. faces-config.xml

 <application>
 <locale-config>
 <default-locale>en</default-locale>
 <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
 <supported-locale>ka</supported-locale>
 </locale-config>
 </application>

2. I created two Language property files:

LocalizationResources_en.properties
hello=HELLO WORLD EN!

LocalizationResources_ka.properties
hello=HELLO WORLD KA!


3. Login page:

 <h:form id="loginForm">
 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <h:outputText value="Language: " />
 <h:selectOneMenu value="#{loginBean.language}">
 <f:selectItem itemValue="ka" itemLabel="Georgian"/>
 <f:selectItem itemValue="en" itemLabel="English"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 </h:panelGrid>
 <h:commandButton action="#{loginBean.doLogin}" value="Log In" id="gbutton" />
 </h:form>

4. LoginBean.java

 private String language;

 ................................

 public String doLogin() {

 FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 Locale locale = new Locale(language);
 facesContext.getViewRoot().setLocale(locale);

 return "navigation";

 }

5. and at last result page after language choose:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<f:loadBundle basename="LocalizationResources" var="bundle"/>

<html>
 <head>
 <title></title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <f:view locale="">
 <h:outputText value="#{bundle.hello}" />
 </f:view>
 </body>
</html>

all works fine, if i choose Georgian from select item componet on result page i saw georgian caption otherwise i saw english captions


i think that problem is in seam not java or jsf.




ooo yes avbentem, i forget i have this documentation and i did all what there is, all works fine, only georegian has problem.

my select item component looks like :

 <h:selectOneMenu
 value="#{localeSelector.localeString}"
 onchange="submit();"
 valueChangeListener="#{localeSelector.select}">
 <f:selectItems value="#{localeSelector.supportedLocales}" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>

and faces-config.xml i wrote above.
