The localization feature is really nice and helps a lot, but you also can have some trouble using it. The first problem is that the language codes which are used in XPages are different from the language codes in java.util.Locale<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This SSJS\u00a0code for example will not work:<\/p>\n

var locale = new java.util.Locale( \"fr_BE\" );\r\ncontext.setLocale( locale );\r\ncontext.reloadPage();<\/pre>\n
It will not work because the java.util.Locale<\/em> object returns „fr_be<\/em>„, but the PageDetails are set to „fr_BE<\/em>„, and that’s why the setting the language does not work.<\/p>\n
<xp:text escape=\"true\" id=\"computedFieldLocale\">\r\n   <xp:this.value>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0    <![CDATA[#{javascript:\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0    var locale = new java.util.Locale( \"fr_BE\" );\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 locale.getLanguage()}]]>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 <\/xp:this.value>\r\n<\/xp:text><\/pre>\n
[This SSJS Code returns „fr_be“]<\/em><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
[In PageDetails „fr_BE“ is used]<\/em><\/p>\n
But if you set the locale string manually with the setLocaleString()<\/em> method of the context<\/em> object, it works as designed.<\/p>\n
The second problem I ran into is the aggressive transformation of all texts on a XPage. I copied a simple CSS Style definition from another database, but after copy\/pasting it I was unable to see any changes in the browser, as soon I switched to another than the default language. The CSS style didn’t work anymore:<\/p>\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\r\n<xp:view xmlns:xp=\"http:\/\/www.ibm.com\/xsp\/core\">\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 <style>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 .red { color:rgb(255,0,0 ) }\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 <\/style>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 <p>TEXT<\/p>\r\n<\/xp:view><\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
[Default Language, it worked]<\/em><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
[Other Language, not working anymore]<\/em><\/p>\n
The CSS style was transformed by the localization feature and was now „translated“. In the generated HTML code, the tag looked like this:<\/p>\n
<style>[en| .red { color:rgb(255,0,0 ) } ]<\/style><\/pre>\n
Same result for directly copied JavaScript-Code, Text etc. (as shown in the screenshot above).<\/p>\n
But I still love this feature. It makes developers life a lot easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
