Localization Overview

MathFlow supports the localization of labels, menus and messages for different languages. It does so via the standard Java mechanism of PropertyBundle files. This consists of defining the translations needed for each string in a file located in the webeq3.resources package of the MathFlow jars. This file name should be derived, following the Java bundle requirements, from the base name of messages.properties. That is, it should be named as follows:

messages_xx.properties

(where xx is the Java code for the desired locale)

For instance, use messages_de.properties for German localization, messages_es.properties for Spanish, messages_fr.properties for French, etc. Once placed in the appropriate location, the messages.properties file will be used when the Java location matches the code in the file name.
