7.3.1 Localizing Types and Fields

You can localize the names of document types and document properties by means of property files as described in Section 5.6, “Localization”. To this end, you provide property files and use them to override the properties defined in com.coremedia.cms.editor.ContentTypes_properties. Typically, this is done while initializing a Studio plugin. 

<local:configuration>
  ...
  <editor:CopyResourceBundleProperties
          destination="{ResourceManager.getInstance().
          getResourceBundle(null,
          'com.coremedia.cms.editor.ContentTypes')}"
          source="{ResourceManager.getInstance().
          getResourceBundle(null,
          'com.coremedia.blueprint.studio.MyDocumentTypes')}"/>
  ...
</local:configuration>

Example 7.12. Localizing document types


There are several kinds of property keys to overwrite when localizing document types:

  • <ContentTypeName>_text: the name of the content type <ContentTypeName> in the given language.

  • <ContentTypeName>_toolTip: the tooltip shown for the content type <ContentTypeName>.

  • <ContentTypeName>_icon: the CSS class to attach to the HTML <div> elements that show the type icons for the content type <ContentTypeName>.

  • <ContentTypeName>_<PropertyName>_text: the name of the property <PropertyName> of a document of type <ContentTypeName> or a subtype thereof.

  • <ContentTypeName>_<PropertyName>_toolTip: the tooltip shown for the property <PropertyName> of a document of type <ContentTypeName> or a subtype thereof.

  • <ContentTypeName>_<PropertyName>_emptyText: the text to shown in the field when the property <PropertyName> of a document of type <ContentTypeName> is empty. This message typically prompts the user to enter a value.

When multiple localizations are defined for a single property, but different content types, the most specific type is used.

Content Types in Blueprint Studio

The CoreMedia Studio Blueprint plugin contains two property files BlueprintDocumentTypes.properties and BlueprintDocumentTypes_de.properties for localizing document type names and property names in the studio/blueprint-forms/src/main/joo/com/coremedia/blueprint/studio directory.

You can simply change the value of any of the properties as needed.
