Language Support

Aikau provides support for the following languages (these are the languages supported by Alfresco:

  • Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR)
  • Dutch (nl)
  • French (fr)
  • German (de)
  • Italian (it)
  • Japanese (jp)
  • Norwegian Bokmål (nb)
  • Russian (ru)
  • Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)
  • Spanish (es)
  • US English (en_US)

If you wish to provide support additional languages to be used in the Alfresco Share (or other) application then it will be necessary to create a new language pack.

Building a Language Pack for Aikau

To build a new language pack it will be necessary to download (or build) the Maven artifact produced by the aikau-additional-languages sub-module. This JAR contains all the default locale properties files used by Aikau in the correct folder structure required for them to be identified via Surf dependency analysis.

These files can then be used to generate matching files for a new locale that can then be re-packaged into a JAR or AMP (using the same folder structure) to be included in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the application that needs to make use of them.
