You can localize Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge to a particular language of your choice. The following instructions demonstrate how to localize Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge menus, titles of windows, labels of controls, messages and other displayed text in a specific language.
The <Studio_Home>\eclipse\plugins\com.savvion.studio.common_<version><timestamp>\resources\i18n folder (where <version> is the version of Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, and <timestamp> is the time when this version was generated) contains several localization property files, localized for their respective languages. For example:
designer_en.properties (English)
designer_fr.properties (French)
designer_ja.properties (Japanese)
designer_zh.properties (Chinese)
To localize Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge:
1. Create a copy of any of the properties file and translate the listed definitions into the language of your choice.
For example, to create a designer.properties file for the Korean language, create a copy of the designer.properties file and rename it as designer_ko.properties. Replace English definitions with definitions in the Korean language. For information on locales supported by Java, refer to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/locale.doc.html.
Note: Java only supports Latin-1 or Unicode character sets. If the language you want to use is not compatible with Latin-1 or Unicode character sets, use the Java tool, native2ascii. For more information on using this tool, refer to native2ascii.
2. You do not need to localize the following *.properties files: bpserver.properties, bpmevents.properties, bpmwebflow.properties, bpmprocessstore.properties, bpmportal.properties, jasperreports.properties, oebps.properties, oebpsemail.properties, and oebpslog.properties.
3. After translating all the required *.properties files, save the changes you made and restart Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge to enable the new localizations.
