Translation of MasterHead and Logon screen

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Currently I translate a portal to romanian language. But I have a serious problem. I can't find the source of the logon screen's texts (Welcome, Login, Password ect.) and I am not able to translate the MasterHead iView. ( Welcome, Help, Log off ect.)

I already wanted to use the standard content translation tool to translate the main template of Masterhead, but I can't find the text inside.

Do you have any idea, where to find the source? UME?

Best,

Levente

Hi,

If you want to show romanian in masthead, then you should open the masthead par file and you will find the translation properties files under private/classes, add the romanian properties file here. So this way for all applications you can add romanian translations (Logon screen).

Hi Praveen,

Thank you for your reply, I guess it solves my problem!

One more question.

I downloaded the property file, but it is a little bit hard to edit.

#File created by SLIM generator

#Fri Oct 27 03:38:59 CEST 2006

LOG_OFF_YES_TEXT=Igen

LOG_OFF_TOOLTIP=Aktu\u00E1lis port\u00E1l-session befejez\u00E9se \u00E9s

Do you know a right tool to edit this file. For example what about the "SLIM generator" ?

Thanks,

Levente

Hi,

The problem is with special chars that need to be Unicode-encoded.

I always create my language properties with special chars and then use the native2ascii tool from Java to convert special chars to unicode.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/solaris/native2ascii.html

So the call should be some thing like:

native2ascii -encoding UTF-8 [inputfile [outputfile]]
