Converting message files for non-Latin 1 and non-Unicode
languages
The WBIX adapter framework extensions contain messages and
property files for the English language. If you want to translate
these messages to other languages with non-Latin 1 and non-Unicode
characters, do the following:
- Translate the appropriate message file, for example, the
WBIXResource.properties file, to the target language. Save this
file in the system-default encoding.
- Using the Java Development Kit, run the native2ascii tool on
the translated property file to convert the characters to
Unicode-encoded characters. Refer to the Javadoc documentation for
information on the native2ascii tool and its command-line
syntax.
- Using the Java Development Kit, run the jar tool on the
Unicode-encoded property file to place it in the WBIX.jar file.
Place the translated, Unicode-encoded property file in the same
path location as the original WBIX property file. Refer to the
Javadoc documentation for information on the jar tool and its
syntax.
The WBIX adapter framework extensions should now produce
messages in the target language and Unicode characters.
