Rules

The following key suffixes can be translated:

  • headline
  • headinfo<number>

The built-in translation of these labels can be overridden in the following way:

  • Add custom translations to a IzPack resource CustomLangPack.xml_<ISO3>
  • The following translation keys and lookup order can be used:
    1. If a panel ID is defined:
      <Fully_qualified_panel_classname>.<panelId>.<subKey>
    2. If a panel ID is defined:
      <Simple_panel_classname>.<panelId>.<subKey>
    3. If no panel ID is defined:
      <Fully_qualified_panel_classname>.<subkey>
    4. If no panel ID is defined:
      <Simple_panel_classname>.<subkey>
       (for compatibility with IzPack 4 translations)

Usage

Headlines on all kind of installer panels can be translated in the following manner:

Create a custom translations file for each language, for instance

...

:

Code Block
languagehtml/xml
titleCustomLangPack.xml_eng
<langpack>
  <str id="TargetPanel.headline" txt="Take a deep breath and gimme an installation directory"/>
</langpack>

and add it as resource to the installation descriptor using predefined key depending on each language used:

Code Block
languagehtml/xml
titleinstall.xml
<resources>
  <res id="CustomLangPack.xml_eng" src="i18n/CustomLangPack.xml_eng"/>
</resources>
 
<panels>
  <panel classname="TargetPanel"/>
</panels>

 

A more complex example:

Code Block
languagexml
titlecustomLangPack.xml_deu
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<izpack:langpack version="5.0" xmlns:izpack="http://izpack.org/schema/langpack" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://izpack.org/schema/langpack http://izpack.org/schema/5.0/izpack-langpack-5.0.xsd">
	<!-- Headlines of panels -->
	<str id="HelloPanel.headline" txt="Willkommen" />
	<str id="LicencePanel.headline" txt="Lizenzvereinbarung" />
	<str id="TargetPanel.headline" txt="Installationsverzeichnis" />
	<str id="PacksPanel.headline" txt="Installationspakete" />
	<str id="InstallPanel.headline" txt="Installation läuft" />
	<str id="FinishPanel.headline" txt="Installation abgeschlossen" />
	<str id="UserInputPanel.panel.tomcatsettings.headline" txt="Tomcat-Einstellungen" />
</izpack:langpack>
