LOCALIZATION for 4 letter Language code

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

When setting up Localization and implementing multiple languages within Identity Manager you may have a need to configure translating a 4 letter language code (i.e. zh-tw).

So how do you translate each of the resource bundle property files with a 4 letter Language code dictionary file?

1. passwordhint.properties
2. resources.properties (both ui7 & imcss)
3. IMSresources.properties
4. IMSExceptions.properties
5. <tokenized xml>.properties

Environment

All Identity Manager

Resolution

The Java convention for locale is that a browser language that's represented by xx-yy is represented in java by xx_yy (the dash turns into an underscore).

This entire mechanism is case sensitive.

The resource bundles file that's being picked is:

• If file exists that matches locale xx_yy then that file is being selected.
• If file does not exist that matches xx_yy, but another file that matches xx only exists, then that file is being selected.
• If neither one above is found then the default file without any locale is selected (IMSResources.properties).
