Adding a new locale

  1. Copy the i18n folder:

    • from /libs/livecycle/core/components/login
    • to /apps/livecycle/core/components/login

  2. Delete all the folders inside i18n except one, say en.

  3. On the folder en, perform these actions:

    1. Rename the folder to the locale name you wish to support. For example, ar.
    2. Change the property jcr:language value to ar (for the ar folder).
    Note:

    If locale is a language-country code combination, say, ar-DZ, then change the folder name and property value to ar-DZ.

  4. Copy login.jsp:

    • from /libs/livecycle/core/components/login
    • to /apps/livecycle/core/components/login

  5. Modify the following snippet of code for /apps/livecycle/core/components/login/login.jsp:

    Locale is language code

    String browserLocale = "en";
    for(int i=0; i<locales.length; i++)
    {
        String prioperty = locales[i];
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("en")) {
            browserLocale = "en";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("de")){
            browserLocale = "de";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("ja")){
            browserLocale = "ja";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("fr")){
            browserLocale = "fr";
            break;
        }
    }

To

String browserLocale = "en";
    for(int i=0; i<locales.length; i++)
    {
        String prioperty = locales[i];
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("ar")) {
            browserLocale = "ar";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("en")) {
            browserLocale = "en";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("de")){
            browserLocale = "de";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("ja")){
            browserLocale = "ja";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("fr")){
            browserLocale = "fr";
            break;
        }
    }

    Locale is language-country code

    String browserLocale = "en";
    for(int i=0; i<locales.length; i++)
    {
        String prioperty = locales[i];
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("en")) {
            browserLocale = "en";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("de")){
            browserLocale = "de";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("ja")){
            browserLocale = "ja";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("fr")){
            browserLocale = "fr";
            break;
        }
    }

To

String browserLocale = "en";
    for(int i=0; i<locales.length; i++)
    {
        String prioperty = locales[i];
        if(prioperty.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("ar-DZ")) {
            browserLocale = "ar-DZ";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("en")) {
            browserLocale = "en";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("de")){
            browserLocale = "de";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("ja")){
            browserLocale = "ja";
            break;
        }
        if(prioperty.trim().startsWith("fr")){
            browserLocale = "fr";
            break;
        }
    }

    To change Default locale

    String browserLocale = "en";
for(int i=0; i<locales.length; i++)

To

String browserLocale = "ar";
for(int i=0; i<locales.length; i++)

Adding new text, or modifying existing text

  1. Copy i18n folder:

  3. For adding new key-value pair, perform the following actions. Check an example in the screenshot that follows.

    1. Create a node of type sling:MessageEntry, or copy an existing node and rename it, under all the locale folders.

                    <span class="loginFlow"></span>
                    <span class="loginVersion"><%= i18n.get("Version: 11.0.0") %></span>
                    <span class="loginTitle"><%= i18n.get("Login") %></span>
