Adding Your Own
If you need a language translation, we don't provide we recommend the following steps:
- Create a new messages.properties file for your language, generally called something like (messages_LANGUAGECODE.properties) and place it in the WEB-INF/classes directory
- Base your translations off the English translation, which always contains the most recent listing of messages.
- Add your language to the casLoginView.jsp if necessary (if you're supporting multiple languages)
- Open an issue for your new language translation so we can include it in the next CAS distribution!
- You'll need to rebuild your web application in order to incorporate the new file.
If your language file contains non-ASCII characters, you'll need to use the Native-to-ASCII Converter included with the Sun JVM. Otherwise, it may not display properly in your browser or SVN.
