Fluenta Localization

Localizing Fluenta requires processing 2 types of files:

  1. Java .properties files
  2. Documentation from DITA files

Fluenta uses code from these two projects:

It is important to localize those projects and include localized versions of the libraries in the Fluenta project for proper display of error messages and other user interface elements, like language names.

Localization of Java .properties

JavaPM is used to generate XLIFF from /src folder.

Use a command like this to generate XLIFF:

/path-to-Javapm/createxliff.sh -srcLang en -tgtLang es -enc UTF-8 -reuse -2.0 -src /path-to-Fluenta/src -xliff yourXliffFile.xlf

Fluenta .properties are encoded in UTF-8; translated versions must be generated using UTF-8 character set.

Localization of DITA manuals

  • Use Fluenta for processing the manuals stored in /docs folder.
  • Use Conversa DITA Publisher to publish the translated DITA maps as PDF.

Sample Files

Folder /i18n contains sample XLIFF and TMX files from Java .properties and DITA documentation.
