  1. Navigate to the <DS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal directory where <DS_HOME> is the WSO2 Dashboard Server distribution's home.
  2. Create a new file by the name locale_{lolcaleCode}.json inside the <DS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/extensions/locales directory to localize the Dashboard Server to your preferred language. 
    Based on this example, as the language set in the browser is Spanish, the locale code is es and the file name should be locale_es.json.

    Info

    There is only one type of resource file that defines the localization strings in WSO2 Dashboard Server. The resource file is a .json file with the following name format - locale_{language_code}.json (e.g., to make Sinhalese available you can name the JSON file as locale_si.json ). Each locale has a separate .json file, and these files are located in the <DS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/extensions/locales directory. These resource files are used to store the strings defined in .jag files and client-side JavaScript files according to browser locale. Furthermore, WSO2 Dashboard Server uses its in-built script module i18n to implement the localization support for Jaggery. For more information, see http://jaggeryjs.org/documentation.jag?api=i18n.

  3. Add the key-value pairs in the resource file, which in this example is the locale_es.json file.

    Info
    • For an example on adding key value pairs, refer to the default resource file for WSO2 Dashboard Server, which is namely the <DS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/extensions/locales/locale_default.json file.
    • In addition, a section of a sample locale_es.json file is shown below for your reference.
