Language Configuration¶
This feature allows administrators to configure the web application for multiple languages, so it eliminates the previous limitation where the web application interface was in a specific language for all users, in English or in the language selected by the administrator. See more about this in the section Language of Data Marketplace, Design Studio and Scheduler.
You can set the default language of the application interface by uploading a new customLang.properties file. Use the template located in <DENODO_HOME>/resources/scheduler-webadmintool/messages/customLang.properties.template as a base to edit and translate the values.
It is not necessary to upload a language file when the default language is set to English.
Also, additional languages can be added and loaded so that users have the possibility to select the desired language in the navigation bar.
Language configuration screen¶
After applying the changes, when the web application loads, a Globe icon will be displayed in the navigation bar. Hovering the mouse over it will display a menu with several options that can be selected:
Browser preferences: The application will try to choose, among all the configured languages, the one that best suits the language preferences of the user’s web browser. If no suitable language is found, the Default Language will be used.
English (preinstalled): The default English language preinstalled and distributed with the Scheduler web application.
Additional Languages: An option will be displayed for each of the languages added in the Additional Languages section. Furthermore, the default language option will also be displayed in case it is different from English.
Language menu selector¶
For example, if you click on the option Japanese - 日本語, previously added the Japanese file in the Additional Languages section, the text labels of the web application translated into that language will be displayed. Please note that in case the translation file is missing some tags, the English (preinstalled) text labels will be used by default.
