Internationalization
Support of multiple languages, also known as the standard i18n ("i" + 18 letters in "nternationalizatio" + "n"), is a Servoy feature that enables you to develop solutions that:
- Do not require additional forms or elements to display more than one default language.
- Can display multiple languages based on locale references.
Usage
On servoy elements its possible to use a text reference, which is a key linked to a messages. Which is replaced at runtime with the localized text from the messages.
An example of a element text reference is: i18n:hello_world
Which is looked up in the message file and produces the text in a locale like "hello world" or "hola mundo" in Spanish
Definition
Inside Servoy Developer the message files are stored as property files in the workspace.
On the server these messages are loaded in a i18n table, the i18n table which can be specified in the solution settings, it needs to have the following columns:
- tableName_id (primary key, integer)
- message_key (i18n key, string)
- message_language (i18n language, string)
- message_value (i18n value, string)
