The three JobScheduler user interfaces (JOC, JOE and JID) have been internationalized (i18n) to allow the support of languages such as Japanese and Russian. There is a separate file for each language, which means localisation (L10n) of these interfaces is relatively straightforward:

  • JOC: you have to create an additional language file for your language. This is described in the Language section of our OperationsGUI Wiki page. We recommend you just copy and rename the English file and change the texts to your language.

...

Please use the IETF language codes when you are naming your language properties file and underscores ("_") as separators. For example, you would name a Japanese language file either "JOEMessages_ja.properties" or "JOEMessages_ja_JP.properties".

Conversion Notes

You have to take into account that take Java is not able to process .property files which are not encoded in ISO-8859-1. If you do not do this, it is likely that you will get an error when starting, for example, {{dashboard.com }}:

Code Block

Here you have to carry out an intermediate step to convert from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1, using the native2ascii program, which is part of the Java JDK:

Code Block

 native2ascii -encoding utf-8 SOSSchedulerDashboardMain_ja.orig SOSSchedulerDashboardMain_ja.properties

The content of the file may look a little bit strange after conversion (smile))

Now include the ISO property file in the jar-file.
Use the "update" function of the jar-utility, don't create a new jar:

Code Block

 C:\temp\jars>jar -uvf com.sos.dailyschedule.jar com/sos/dailyschedule/SOSSchedulerDashboardMain_ja.properties
 Add: com/sos/dailyschedule/SOSSchedulerDashboardMain_ja.properties

...

When all goes well, your interface should look something like this (JID Interface in Japanese):
