Web UI

Translation Label Conventions

Updated: March 18, 2024

Adding translation can be done easily using Nuxeo Studio Designer.

Web UI uses the same language as the web browser. After adding a translation and having hot-reloaded your project, you may need to force refresh the page to force the translation files to be reloaded.

Label Conventions

Within the following examples, the ${...} notation indicates the part of the translation key that should be replaced with the name, type, or other value indicated.

For example, exportButton.${name} for the pdfRendition export would be:

{
  "exportButton.pdfRendition": "PDF Rendition"
}

Vocabularies

As opposed to other UI translations, Vocabularies are translated on the server side and need to be stored in a different place. When using Nuxeo Studio, entries can be added directly into your Studio Designer json files as usual, and Nuxeo Studio will handle the rest. This allows you to centralize all your translations.

If you are adding them in your Java project however, remember that entry values must be added to the messages_${lang}_${country}.properties file in order to be translated on the client side. This allows the vocabulary REST endpoints to provide the appropriate translation for headless clients.

  • label.directories.${vocabularyName}.${entryLabel}: Specify the translation for a vocabulary entry with vocabularyName and entryLabel.
