11.1.2. Supported Locales
ApplicationResources_nl.properties and
ApplicationResources_fr.properties.
The locale used to show the pages, and displayed as selected in the language drop down
list is based on the property Read User Locale From, which defaults to the locale set in
the browser of the end user.
If you do not want to read the locale from a browser, but store it as a user preference,
then you can enter an JSF EL expression in the Read User Locale From property. You
will typically use an expression that reads the locale from the user context object:
When you check the checkbox Generate Locale Switcher, a drop down list will be
generated in the global button area which allows the end user to choose one of the
supported locales (displayed through the associated language name).
JHeadstart has built-in support for the following locales:
pt_BR Brazilian Portuguese
hr Croatian
nl Dutch
el Greek
en English
fo Faroese
fr French
de German
ja Japanese
kr Korean
no Norwegian
ro Romanian
sr Serbian
sl Slovenian
es Spanish
Built-in support means that if you specify one or more of these locales in the Application
Definition, the Resource Bundle generated for that locale will contain the correct
translations for button labels, page titles and other fixed boilerplate text generated by
JHeadstart.
If you have checked the checkbox Generate NLS-enabled prompts and tabs then each
resource bundle will also contain entries for the prompts, tab names and display titles,
but these entries are still in the language you used when specifying them in the
Application Definition Editor. You will need to translate these entries manually in the
