Translation of texts built into the scout platform [message #1805834]

Hi,

I'm creating an application iwhose basic language is Polish. I use newest version 9.0 of Scout platform. I run the application on a computer with a location set on Poland. My own Polish texts are displayed correctly from file Texts_pl.properties. I have a problem with texts built into the Scout platform. A large part of them is displayed in English, not Polish. For example in Page with table widget: "Filter by...", "3 rows loaded", "Reload data", "No row selected", "Select all", and so on...

Does the Scout platform do not contain translations of these texts into Polish by default?
If so, how to inject their translation into my application?

While several texts for Scout are available in Polish, e.g. see https://github.com/eclipse-scout/scout.rt/blob/releases/9.0.x/org.eclipse.scout.rt.shared/src/main/resources/org/eclipse/scout/rt/shared/texts/, the texts for the UI unfortunately have not yet been translated to Polish, see https://github.com/eclipse-scout/scout.rt/tree/releases/9.0.x/org.eclipse.scout.rt.ui.html/src/main/resources/org/eclipse/scout/rt/ui/html/texts.

As you probably want the texts as soon as possible: Do you have an yourproject.ui.html project? Maybe you could create your own UiTextProviderService there extending AbstractDynamicNlsTextProviderService and add the missing texts in Polish (I have not tested this idea yet). You would have to translate the texts contained in https://github.com/eclipse-scout/scout.rt/blob/releases/9.0.x/org.eclipse.scout.rt.ui.html/src/main/resources/org/eclipse/scout/rt/ui/html/texts/Texts.properties. In the end maybe you can even contribute your translations and open a change request for Scout, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Scout/Contribution#Contributing_patches.

Hi Krzysztof

Scout has some translations for Polish, but not all available texts are translated.
The Scout texts are part of the shared module, see https://git.eclipse.org/c/scout/org.eclipse.scout.rt.git/tree/org.eclipse.scout.rt.shared/src/main/resources/org/eclipse/scout/rt/shared/texts/ScoutTexts_pl.properties?h=releases/9.0.x

You can add the translation in your own project by using the same key name as in Scout (and thus override the entry from Scout). Uncheck "Hide inherited rows" in the NLS editor to see the key names from Scout. The NLS editor forces you to add a default translation, but you can remove the added line in Texts.properties afterwards.

When you add translations for yet untranslated Scout texts, you could create a merge request to add them to Scout directly (or provide a file with key name and Polish translation instead). That would be really helpful.

edit: Matthias was first :-)

Kind regards
Stephan

Hi Matthias, Stephan

Thank you for quick and effective help.
Using your tips, I managed to solve the problem.
I added all missing translations to my Texts_pl.properties file in my shared module.

As for the addition of my translations as a "merge request":
I have not participated in the contribution of projects from the Eclipse family so far, but I will try to get through the indicated procedure and register such a request.
