Providing multilingual support in Liferay is very easy. Just need to follow few simple steps and we are all done.
Here are the steps needs to be performed:
1) Modify portlet.xml file to specify the resource bundle entry
2) Create properties file for the locate we need to support
3) Use liferay-ui tld to show message
4) Deploy and verify changes
Here are the detailed steps:
1) Modify portlet.xml file to specify the resource bundle entry
Add the entry "<resource-bundle>content.Language</resource-bundle>" inside the portlet tag. Tag specifies the location of the
language file.
2) Create properties file for the locate we need to support
Need to create a key=value pair of properties file based on the locale.
Ex: Language_es.properties
Language.properties
If we select a region whose corresponding file is not exist then value available inside "Language.properties" will be default as default.
If we select "Spanish" then the value of the key available inside "Language_es.properties" will be shown to user.
3) Use liferay-ui tld to show message
On JSP we need to import "liferay-ui" taglib as shown below
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/ui" prefix="liferay-ui" %>
Once tablib import is done we can use "liferay-ui" to show messages to the user. So label will be fetch from the language property file based
on the locale selected.
Here is the code snippet to use message:
<liferay-ui:message key="message1" />
4) Deploy and verify changes
Yupee! we are done from the configuration part. Lets build and deploy latest war and check the JSP where we have used "liferay-ui" to show
message. Add the Language portlet on the page and change the language(locale) to "Spanish" you will see value against the key mentioned inside "Language_es.properties"
file.
Ex: Here are the entries inside
1) Language_es.properties
message1=I am spanish
2) Language.properties
message1=I am Default Message
