How to Localize the Collaboration Toolbar 160
To Create Additional Localization Resource Bundles
To create additional localization resource bundles for the Collaboration Toolbar:
1. In a text editor, open the dca_console_controls.properties file. This is the file
in which default (U.S. English) toolbar text is stored. It is located at:
<DCArootdirectory>\uiserver\WEB-INF\properties\default\dca
<DCArootdirectory>\uiserver\WEB-INF\properties\default\dca
.
2. Modify the file, rewriting message and button text in an alternate language, as
desired. In the file:
Message Text: Message text is the text the toolbar displays when a user selects a
particular control. For example, when a user selects the Follow Me button, by
default the toolbar displays the message "Follow Me is now on."
particular control. For example, when a user selects the Follow Me button, by
default the toolbar displays the message "Follow Me is now on."
Button Text: Most buttons have properties for both label and mouse-over text.
For example, The Back button includes these default values: back=Back (label
text), back_mo=Go To Previous Page (mouse-over text). Note that some
buttons have no text associated with them.

3. After editing the file, save it under a locale-specific name by appending a lower-
case two-letter suffix that represents the valid ISO language code (as defined by
ISO-639) for the language into which you are translating. For example, to localize
ISO-639) for the language into which you are translating. For example, to localize
the file for French, rename the file: dca_console_controls_fr.properties.
To specify a locale that includes both a language and country, include an upper-
case two-letter ISO country code in the suffix, as defined by ISO-3166. For
example, to localize the file for Belgian French, rename the file:
dca_console_controls_fr_BE.properties.

4. IF you modified the file to include non-Latin-1 characters, run the file through the
native2ascii utility (available in your <DCArootdirectory>\jdk\bin directory).
The native2ascii utility converts files containing non-Latin-1 characters to
Unicode, necessary for the DCA to read them. You can read instructions for using
the native2ascii utility here:
