I have created a custom type in items.xml. How can I localize the item type? Where should I use the localized keyword for the item type to be localized?
<itemtype code="Service" autocreate="true" generate="true">
<deployment typecode="23456" table="Service"/>
<attributes>
<attribute qualifier="code" type="java.lang.String" autocreate="true" generate="true">
<persistence type="property"/>
<description>Service Code</description>
<modifiers unique="true" read="true" write="true"/>
</attribute>
<attribute qualifier="serviceType" type="ServiceType" autocreate="true" generate="true">
<persistence type="property"/>
<description>Service Type</description>
<modifiers read="true" write="true"/>
</attribute>
<attribute qualifier="years" type="java.lang.Integer" autocreate="true" generate="true">
<persistence type="property"/>
<description>Service Years</description>
<modifiers read="true" write="true"/>
</attribute>
</itemtype>
The answer that you accepted is wrong.
You shouldn't do type="localized:Service"
. What this does is let you set a different Service value for each language.
If what you wanted to do was add different labels/localization for the Service type, then what you did in your other question is correct.
For English localization/translation, define the localization in trainingcore_locales_en.properties
:
type.Service.name=Service
type.Service.code.name=code
type.Service.serviceType.name=serviceType
type.Service.years.name=years
type.ServiceType.name=ServiceType
type.ServiceType.Basic.name=Basic
type.ServiceType.BasicOnsite.name=BasicOnsite
type.ServiceType.Advanced.name=Advanced
For German translation, set the translation in trainingcore_locales_de.properties
.
