public class Language
extends java.lang.Object

Implementation of Astro-Online installed languages.

To install a new language to the Astro-Online system, please follow the following steps:

Step 1

Add a language file to the com.astroshare.astroonline.language package. The name of the language file must have the following format: "MessagesBundle_xx_XX.properties", where xx is a lowercase two character id for the language and XX is the same character id in uppercase. Use an existing language for translation.

Step 2

To activate the new language add an entry to the private hashtable "installedLanguages" with the language id in lowercase.

Step 3

Before the new language can be used, new content and templates have to be added to the Astro-Online database.

Important note:

Before translating any content from another language, please ask the author of the content for permission. Always respect the copyright of the author!
