  1. Follow the instructions in your Web browser's user guide and set the browser's language to a preferred one. For example, in Google Chrome, you set the language using the Settings -> Show advanced settings -> Languages menu.
  2. Set the browser's encoding type to UTF-8.

    Introduction to resource files

  3. Go to <AM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher directory where <AM_HOME> is the API Manager distribution's home.
  4. There are two types of resource files used to define localization strings in the API Manager.
    • The resource file used to store the strings defined in .jag files according to browser locale (For example, locale_en.json) is located in .../publisher/site/conf/locales/jaggery folder.
    • The resource file i18nResources.json, which is used to store strings defined in client-side javascript files such as pop-up messages when a UI event is triggered, is located in .../publisher/site/conf/locales/js folder.

    For example,

    To implement localization support for jaggery, we use its in-built script module 'i18n'. For more information, refer to http://jaggeryjs.org/apidocs/i18ndocumentation.jag?api=i18n.

    Localizing strings in Jaggery files

  5. To localize the API publisher to Spanish, first localize the strings defined in jaggery files. Create a new file by the name locale_{lolcaleCode}.json inside ...publisher/site/conf/locales/jaggery folder. For example, if the language set in the browser is Spanish, the locale code is es and the file name should be locale_es.json.
  6. Add the key-value pairs to locale_es.json file. For an example on adding key value pairs, refer to locale_en.json file in ...publisher/site/conf/locales/jaggery folder. It is the default resource file for jaggery.

    In addition, a section of a sample locale_es.json file is shown below for your reference.

    Localizing strings in client-side Javascript files

  7. To localize the javascript UI messages, navigate to publisher/site/conf/locales/js folder and update i18nResources.json file with relevant values for the key strings.
  8. Once done, open the API Publisher web application in your browser (https: //<YourHostName>:9443/publisher).
  9. Note that the UI is now changed to Spanish.
