Localizing Business Process Server : Translating the Properties file
 

Translating the Properties file

The OEBPS_HOME\conf\properties folder contains the following Business Process Portal properties files, localized for their respective languages:
*bpmportal_en.properties (English)
*bpmportal_es.properties (Spanish)
*bpmportal_fr.properties (French)
*bpmportal_ja.properties (Japanese)
*bpmportal_pt_BR.properties (Portuguese)
*bpmportal_zh.properties (Chinese)
To create your localized properties file:
1. Create a copy of the bpmportal.properties file. Optionally, you can append the file name with the appropriate Locale ID (language or country code). For example, you can rename the properties file for the Korean language as bpmportal_ko.properties.
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 http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/native2ascii.html.
2. Replace the English definitions in this file with the corresponding translations in your selected language.
3. Copy the translated properties file to OEBPS_HOME\conf\properties folder.
