Localization

This article explains how to customize the localization of the wiki article pages.

Overview

By default the article pages are localized in English^[1]

The localization concerns texts which are automatically generated by the tool, such as in the menus for example. Of course the content of the articles can be in any language

. However it is possible to change the localization in the configuration file.

There are two ways to specify the localization:

• By specifying a built-in language name for the "localization" property
• By specifying the path to a property file which will contain the texts localization

Supported built-in language names

The built-in supported language names are:

• "en": English
• "fr": French
• "de": German
• "es": Spanish
• "it": Italian
• "ru": Russian

To specify a built-in language, just set the language name for the property in the configuration file. For example:

  localization=de

Custom localization

To specify a custom localization, set the path for a properties File containing the texts localizations^[2]

This property file will be relative to the configuration property file

. For example:

   localization=localization.properties
