Translating Repository Descriptions

When repository metadata is defined, a repository description is provided. This content can also be translated and displayed in the language preferred by the user.

Procedure

  1. Create a key based on repository name. 
    REPO_DESC__"<repository description>"
  2. Add the translation for the key in the SharedStringResources.properties file as follows: 
    REPO_DESC__CUSTOMER=Customers

Result

The translated description is then picked up from resource bundle, whenever applicable.

Note:
  • This only applies to UI. Web services, rulebase, and workflow continue to use repository name as currently practiced. If no translation is provided, repository description as provided in metadata is shown.
  • The metadata UI to view repository metadata uses translated descriptions whereas to modify repository descriptions metadata uses original descriptions.
