Languages and Time Zones

Specify the available locales. Messages corresponding to a specific language are specified in properties files with file names matching that of content/Language_*.properties. These values can also be overridden in properties files with file names matching that of content/Language-ext_*.properties. Use a comma to separate each entry.

If there is more than one locale for the same language, the first one in the list will be used when a translation is requested in another locale of the same language but a translated value cannot be found. For example, if there are two locales such as pt_BR and pt_PT (in this order), any key not found in pt_PT will be looked for in pt_BR.

All locales must use UTF-8 encoding.

Specify the locales that are in beta. Go to http://translate.liferay.com to participate in the translation efforts.

locales.beta=ar_SA,eu_ES,bg_BG,ca_AD,ca_ES,zh_TW,hr_HR,cs_CZ,nl_NL,nl_BE,en_GB,et_EE,fi_FI,fr_FR,gl_ES,el_GR,iw_IL,hi_IN,in_ID,it_IT,ja_JP,ko_KR,nb_NO,fa_IR,pl_PL,pt_PT,ro_RO,ru_RU,sr_RS,sr_RS_latin,sl_SI,sk_SK,sv_SE,tr_TR,uk_UA,vi_VN

Set this to true if unauthenticated users get their preferred language from the Accept-Language header. Set this to false if unauthenticated users get their preferred language from their company.

locale.default.request=false

Set this to 0 if the locale is not automatically prepended to a URL. This means that each URL could potentially point to many different languages. For example, the URL http://localhost:8080/web/guest/home could then be viewed by users in many different languages.

Set this to 1 if the locale is automatically prepended to a URL when the requested locale is not the default locale. This means that each URL points to just one language. For example, the URL http://localhost:8080/web/guest/home would point to the default language. The URL http://localhost:8080/zh/web/guest/home and http://localhost:8080/zh_CN/web/guest/home would both point to the Chinese language.

In cases where the prepended locale is zh and not complete locale zh_CN, then the full locale returned will be based on the order in which the locales appear in the property locales. If zh_CN appears before zh_TW, then zh will be a short hand for zh_TW.

The default language is set in system.properties with the properties user.country and user.language.

Set this to 2 if the locale is automatically prepended to every URL. This means that each URL points to just one language.

Note that each language requires an entry in the property locales and a servlet mapping in web.xml for the I18n Servlet.

locale.prepend.friendly.url.style=1

Set this to true to disable language translations. When a translation is requested for the key first-name, instead of returning "First Name" in English (or in its relevant locale), it will return first-name.

translations.disabled=false
