1 - Internationalization Guidelines

Internationalization files

Internationalization is mainly maintained using a .properties file set named messages.properties in the /tm/org.squashtest.csp.tm.web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/messages/tm folder. Internationalization properties need to follow the .properties format.

The files should be edited using the Eclipse ResourceBundle Editor plug-in, which is available through an update site under this url : http://dev.nightlabs.org/updatesites/development/

Property naming guideline

An internationalized property should be named using the following pattern :

type[.size][.format][.format][.camelCaseQualifier].camelCaseName
