Hi,
I believe that there are also some char set setup for connectors. Since Carbon
has its own configuration system, I would like someone here to point this out
how to config the char set for connectors.
Thanks,
Xue-Feng

of
WSO2 Products
Hi Pradeeban,
Just saw that you asked a question from me. For JSPs, you need to add
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
at the very top. Next, for Ajax.update/Ajax.request there was one of the two
that mixed up the encoding, so you might need to check on that aspect. If it
mixes up, the resulting page loaded asynchronously will have '?' symbols. Once
that's done, if you have done any encoding/decoding, ensure that it is UTF-8
and
not anything else.
That's three things. The fourth is for languages that has transliteration (like
Japanese - I tried for that). In there, the transliteration process generates
some keystroke sequences which can be trapped in JS. If you've written JS event
handlers that get triggered on keypress, please note and fix them as
appropriate.
Fifth is @ DB-schema level. Some products store data into DBs. We need to
ensure
that it can store UTF-8 data. Most of our schemas are written with this in mind
but better check. Sixth are the regular expressions that we have. Some don't
allow non-latin input. In my scenario, I wanted to have Japanese usernames and
passwords. The UM regex had to be fixed to support that aspect. Guess its not
broken again, but better check.
These six things made it possible for me to run a Japanese version of G-Reg.
Having said that, it is not practical for someone to edit multiple Jar files in
order to create a localized version of the product. We need some script. I was
thinking about something like this.
1. Script will find all (JS)Resources.properties files and create localized
copies (JS)Resources_foo_CC.properties (inside Jars).
2. Script will read all localized copies and produce a single file with all
i18n
keys which the user would translate.
3. Human translation process.
4. Script will use the translation and then fix all references in the localized
copies inside Jars.
Script can be some Java code + sh/bat. IMO, this makes life easy. WDYT?
Thanks,
Senaka.

+1.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions Guillaume.
If you implement that, one could look at the code and, for example, if there is
no Spanish property file, create both Resources_es.properties
and Resources_es_CL.properties

Exactly. I feel we didn't think this much earlier regarding the localization.
As
with the huge interest shown in using WSO2 products in other languages,
(specially Spanish and Chinese according to the user mails), I can clearly say,
these improvements will help a lot of users as of now.
Currently I am in the process of documenting the current localization
methodology (which is pretty much covered in this mail thread itself), as a
resource for the users who try to localize the WSO2 products.
[CC'ing to carbon-dev and stratos-dev for the wider audience].
Thank you.
Regards,
Pradeeban.
