1 Overview of Internationalization for WebLogic Server (I18N) refers to the preparation of software so that it behaves properly in multiple locations. Localization (L10N) is the use of locale-specific language and constructs at run time. Internationalization of textual data in WebLogic Server is provided through message catalogs. WebLogic Server supports message catalogs for log messages as well as simple text. Log messages contain data that is written to the log file. This data is predomin

Understanding Message Catalogs Understanding Message Catalogs All internationalized text is defined in message catalogs, each of which defines a collection of log messages or simple text. To create an internationalized message, you externalize all message strings in a message catalog so that the strings can be easily converted to multiple locales without changing or recompiling the code. The application code supplies run-time values to the logging methods. The logging methods merge the code

Main Steps for Creating an Internationalized Message 2. Run i18ngen to validate the catalog you created or edited in Step 1 and generate runtime classes. The generated classes contain a method for each message. The method is defined according to information specified in the message catalog entry. The methods include Logger or TextFormatter methods, depending on the type of catalog. For details, see “18ngen Utility” on page 4-4. 3. Create locale-specific catalogs as required for the message

2 Using Message Catalogs with BEA WebLogic Server Message catalogs support multiple locales or languages. For a specific message catalog there is exactly one default version, known as the top-level catalog. Then there are corresponding locale-specific catalogs, one for each additional supported locale. The top-level catalog includes all the information necessary to define the message. The locale-specific catalogs contain only the message ID, the date changed, and the translation of the mess
