Trosten,
I think using Resource Bundle Editor plug in will solve the problem as Amine pointed. Regards, Bashir

Bashir, Adrian
whenever, you are at ease with RBE let me now, as we should see together how to proceed in translating labels into arabic (making a jira issue ...) For the UI, it seems interesting to get some interest for languages written from right to left. yes I am interested we must absolutely solve this issue and let the interface use the proper css when an RTL language is choosen.

Amine,
You can get the rtl process started by creating a Jira issue. That will give others the opportunity to evaluate it and vote on it. -Adrian Amine AZZI wrote: > Bashir, Adrian > > whenever, you are at ease with RBE let me now, as we should see together > how > to proceed in translating labels into arabic (making a jira issue ...) > For the UI, it seems interesting to get some interest for languages written > from right to left. yes I am interested we must absolutely solve this issue > and let the interface use the proper css when an RTL language is choosen. > > Amine. > > > 2007/2/22, Bashir Alfetori <[hidden email]>: > >> >> >> Trosten, >> >> I think using Resource Bundle Editor plug in will solve the problem as >> Amine >> pointed. >> >> Regards, >> Bashir >> >> >> Torsten Schlabach-2 wrote: >> > >> > Ok, so the problem seems to be somewhere else. >> > Let me see if I will find some time on that subject tonight. >> > Regards, >> > Torsten >> > >> > Bashir Alfetori schrieb: >> >> Hi, Torsten! >> >> >> >> I am using Mozilla Firefox.

Hi Azzi!
I just did some tests and I wonder what I am missing. Actually, I get even different results from what you've seen. I am not trying this as part of OFBiz but I thought I'd create a standalone test. Could you import my little standalone project into your Eclipse and tell me what's wrong? I only get ????? in my browser, not the strange characters you've seen.

In reply to this post by Bashir Alfetori
Hi Bashir and Amine,
> I think using Resource Bundle Editor plug in will solve the problem as > Amine pointed. Did it solve the problem? I have done some experiments last night and got some interesting insights into details. So please allow me to share what I found out, hopefully for the benefit of anyone who might run into this. First of all, the short answer: As we all know, Java strings are Unicode internally. (Note that Unicode != UTF-8. UTF-8 is one possible representation of Unicode among others.) When you read a properties files which contains \uXXXX code in it, you can be quite sure you will have valid Unicode characters in your string in memory. So I doubt that the problem is anywhere on the input side. But in order to render stuff properly in the browser, you need to make sure that you set the appropriate encoding to the servlet response. You usually do it like that: protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8"); PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter(); This is not the same as just outputting <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> from your servlet code, because Java knows that it has Unicode strings in memory and unless you set the encoding of your output stream which writes to the browser properly, Java is intelligent to know that it cannot render certain unicode ranges (like Chineese or Arabic) to an output device that it thinks is Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1), so it will just put a question mark '?' in there for those characters it thinks it cannot print. Well, the problem you showed in your screenshot at http://www.nabble.com/file/6705/ArabicLabel.JPG is different. These characters are what you can expect to see if you render an UTF-8 encoded string to a Latin-1 based device without Java knowing that the string is UTF-8. So I was able to reproduce that pattern when I wrote my properties file directly in UTF-8 (not using \uXXXX escape codes but real UTF-8). In that case, Java expected the properties file to be in Latin-1, which is in line with the spec and thus did *not* build a proper Unicode string with Arabic characters in memory. Take a look at https://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html > When saving properties to a stream or loading them from a stream, the > ISO 8859-1 character encoding is used. For characters that cannot be > directly represented in this encoding, Unicode escapes are used; > however, only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape sequence. > The native2ascii tool can be used to convert property files to and > from other character encodings. In other words: The kind of pattern you see in your screenshot can only come from some UTF-8 (not \uXXXX escape sequences) being misread as Latin-1 ASCII and then passed on. So did either you or that RBE plugin maybe save / convert your properties file? Out the output side, this cannot happen, even if you mess up the character coding somewhere in the pipeline, as Java will either render it properly or use questions marks. But to be on the safe side and make sure that OFBiz will be setting the Servlet response encoding to UTF-8, you probably need to set a parameter in some web.xml files. Take a look at the code here, OFBiz does something quite interesting there: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk/framework/webapp/src/org/ofbiz/webapp/control/ControlServlet.java // setup DEFAULT chararcter encoding and content type, this will be overridden in the RequestHandler for view rendering String charset = getServletContext().getInitParameter("charset"); if (charset == null || charset.length() == 0) charset = request.getCharacterEncoding(); if (charset == null || charset.length() == 0) charset = "UTF-8"; Debug.logInfo("The character encoding of the request is: [" + request.getCharacterEncoding() + "]. The character encoding we will use for the request and response is: [" + charset + "]", module); In plain text: - If the charset servlet init parameter is set: use that one. (It's *not* set by default. You can set it in web.xml.) - If it's not set, use the request's encoding. (This can be the trap! I am not sure what encoding a browser would use for sending the request!) - If neither one's the case, set a default of UTF-8. It would make sense to watch the debug log output on your system as it's going to tell you what encoding it uses, but I'd bet it is using UTF-8 for one or the other reason. Just you take out some uncertainty by explicitely forcing UTF-8 through that init-parameter. You can never be sure what a user's browser does. I will send you my sandbox standalone servlet which demonstrates some of the issues mentioned here. I cannot attach it to the mail as the list does not seem to allow this. Hope this helps. Note once again, this has nothing to do yet with RTL (right-to-left) support as well as transcoding / transliteration. Has a Jira issue been created on that one yet. If so, I'd be happy to contibute my 2 cents to it. I can just warn from experience with an app: RTL is != transliteration / transcoding and both is far from trivial. Not technically, just to decide *what* you want to do. But that's a whole separate email. Have a nice weekend. We're close to it yet.

Hi there,
I just saw Adrian Crum's message on RTL in OFBiz dev mail list. Here are the steps how we translate Chinese UI labels (i18n standard method): 1. Create an OFBiz-zh project in Eclipse. 2. Create a src-OFBiz-zh-UTF8 directory in the project. 3. Create pathes just as OFBiz. 4. Copy the UI files and rename them to *_zh.properties, set the files' encoding to UTF-8 in Eclipse. According to ISO-639, zh means Chinese. You can find your language here: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php 5. Translate the UI labels. 6. Create a build.xml under the project. You can use our build.xml as start:http://ofbiz-zh.cvs.sourceforge.net/ofbiz-zh/OFBiz-zh/ 7. Run native2ascii of the build.xml which will convert property files under src-OFBiz-zh-UTF8 to src-OFBiz-zh-ascii. The Chinese charactors will be translated in the style of \uxxxx \uxxxx. Here, x is the HEX number. (I remember there's a paragraph in JDK says Java reads file in iso-8859-1 but I cannot find it now.) 8. Copy the property files under src-OFBiz-zh-ascii to the deployed OFBiz directory. 9. Start OFBiz and choose Chinese and check the translation. 10. Repeat the necessary steps above to keep up changes or improve the translation quality. Hope this is helpful to you. Have a nice weekend, Shi Jinghai/Beijing Langhua Ltd. |

Hi all,
Here is a screen shot about a module that has been developed above ofbiz and is working in arabic. the UILabels files were geenrated bu RBE for Eclipse. I have no problem in working with arabic. You can see that the only issue remaining is to make the UI RTL. I will work on this issue the coming days inchallah and post it on Jira. Regards. 2007/2/23, Shi Jinghai <[hidden email]>: Hi there, |

Hi, Trosten
Thanks for your help. Yes, The problem is solved by using RBE and Arabic characters can be displayed in the browser. RBE is fine and takes care of translating the properties values entered in Arabic to the corresponding \uXXXX format. Best regards, Bashir Thanks for your

Thank you for your help. RBE works fine and I was able to display Arabic character in the browser. Hope to proceed together now in translating labels to Arabic. Regards, Bashir

Hello,
Here is a quick patch if ever you would like to have an RTL UI. Amine. 2007/2/23, Bashir Alfetori <[hidden email]>:

Hello, Mahassen
There is an ongoing effort to translate OFBiz to Arabic. Also there is a proposed changes that would allow Right-to-Left direction display of user interface. I hope a full Arabic version of OFBiz be available soon. I also want to work with OFBiz in Arabic. Best regards, Bashir
