Localizing Message Files

A message file is a property file. The file name dictates which locales it applies to. The suggested

naming convention is as follows:

<prefix>msgs[

_languageCode

[

_countryCode

[

_variantCode

]]].properties

Do not provide more precision than necessary. By default, all message files are named as one of the

following:

<prefix>msgs_en.properties (English)

<prefix>msgs.properties (language independent)

No support exists for prepend or append operations.

All entries must follow this syntax: category.number=message text

To find all available message files, search the installation root and all its directories for

*msg*.properties

*.msgs

files.

Finally, extract the synergy-i18n.jar file into the oware/synergy/extensions directory, edit the

appropriate files in the localization subdirectory, then re-compress the .jar file.

CAUTION:

If you take the time to translate these files, make sure you keep a copy of any modified files because any

upgrade may return them to their original state. You must manually copy the localized files to their

original positions to see those translations after any update.

The localization/language functionality comes from Liferay. You may find additional information

regarding localization on www.liferay.com/documentation.
