Here is a brief update of the progress we have been making on the Mifos Internationalization (i18n) project.
One of the primary goals of the i18n project has been to simplify the process required to translate Mifos into another language and to maintain those translations. Previously, some text requiring translation was stored in resource bundles (properties files) and some was stored in the database. The text stored in properties files was spread out in a number of directories throughout the Mifos project. To address these issues, we have been working to: * move text requiring translation from the database to properties files. This work is nearing completion and we will send another update when this is done. * centralize all properties files requiring translation into a single directory. This work is essentially done. For developers working on Mifos, the primary point to be aware of is that properties files containing text that is displayed in Mifos are now located in the directory src/org/mifos/config/localizedResrouces. If we identify addition files that should be localized they will be moved to the localizedResrouces directory. And if you need to add new properties files containing text messages, then those files should also go in the localized Resrouces directory. --Van ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
