GWT Internationalization

I find a good explain about GWT internationalization at http://markmail.org/message/kkve5qmokt6lixub

Below is the notes get from the post:

 

Here are my own notes to set up Internationalization (i18n) in GWT.   1. In myApp.gwt.xml   <inherits name="com.google.gwt.i18n.I18N"/> <extend-property name="locale" values="en"/> <extend-property name="locale" values="sp"/> <extend-property name="locale" values="fr"/>   2. Create 3 properties files in the client folder:   MyMessages_en.properties MyMessages_fr.properties MyMessages_sp.properties   3. Here is the content of MyMessages_en.properties (the other two files should be identical):   enBtn = English spBtn = Espa&ntilde;ol frBtn = Fran&ccedil;ais   4. Create 3 Button Widgets in the EntryPoint module   MyMessages myMessages = (MyMessages) GWT.create(MyMessages.class);   Button enBtn = new Button(); enBtn.setHTML(myMessages.enBtn());   Button enBtn = new Button(); enBtn.setHTML(myMessages.frBtn());   Button enBtn = new Button(); enBtn.setHTML(myMessages.spBtn());   5. Create the MyMessages.java in the client folder:   package com.myApp.client;   import com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Messages;   public interface MyMessages extends Messages {     String spBtn();     String enBtn();     String frBtn(); }   6. Here is the ClickListener for one of the buttons:   enBtn.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {     public native void onClick(Widget sender) /*-{      var currLocation = $wnd.location.toString().split("?");      var currLocale = "?locale=en";      $wnd.location.href = currLocation[0] + currLocale;      $wnd.location.replace(currLocation[0] + currLocale);      }-*/; });   7. Don't forget this meta tag in the main html file:   <meta name="gwt:property" content="locale=en">   8. Here is how to manually check that the locale are indeed changed:   http://localhost:8888/com.myApp.myProject/myProject.html?locale=en or http://localhost:8888/com.myApp.myProject/myProject.html?locale=sp or http://localhost:8888/com.myApp.myProject/myProject.html?locale=fr   Well. That's it. I believe there are enough information in this post to start the ball rolling for anyone interested to learn how to internationalize his/her GWT application.   Cheerio.
