After installing the plugin you will be able to use the i18n global variable inside your templates (.gtpl) ou Groovlets (.groovy)
to obtain entry values in your .properties files, in various forms. Example:
message.properties
title="Page Title"
plugin="Gaelyk i18n Plugin"
url="http://github.com/sergerehem/gaelyk-i18n-plugin"
congrats="Congratulations {0}! Your plugin is running!"
sample.gtpl
<html>
<head><title>$i18.title</title>
<body>
<h1>$i18n['plugin']</h1>
<a href="${i18n.getProperty('url')}"/>
<p>${i18.congrats('Serge'}</p>
</bodu>
</html>You can change locale manually using session "locale' attribute
If session does not contain locale attribute, the plugin always using the request locale
The plugin searches properties file in the standard i18n order - if the locale is "he_IL" it will first look for "messages_he_IL.properties", if it does not exists will search for "messages_he.properties" and then for "messages.properties"
You can copy samples files to your Gaelyk app from here.
The plugin uses the convention over configuration concept, so you can just put your messages.properties
file in the WEB-INF/i18n folder
You can also create a i18nConfig.groovy file in WEB-INF/ folder and configure those optional variables:
basePath: the base path for your.propertiesfiles. Default is"WEB-INF/i18n".baseName: the base name for your.propertiesfiles. Default is"messages".messagesEncoding: by default is used the server operationg system encoding
TIP: After version upgrade, clean your memcache using app engine console
