Hi,
I want to change (translate) the text for some of the controls and headers inside the search table control, but havent found a way of doing this.
Does anyone know how to do this?

i8n need to do localization when there is a yellow warning next to a hard code label that points to you need to localize and point the label to read from reference to a label in a file and depending on the localization it will read from the appropriate file…
In CAF view - switch to project explorer view - choose project or view you want to localize in the context menuy choose CAF Tools >> Externalize Strings - designer will now create entries in the message bundle for all hard coded strings.
- you then create properties for each language that should be supported…
Straight from the CAF training manual i have…
Hi again,
The CAF tool did not do the trick for the strings inside the Search table control. For instance the GO-button and ‘previous’ and ‘next’ strings has not been externalized.

In CAF 7.x, the only supported way to change the text of the labels of the built-in controls is to apply a language pack for your target locale.
If there is not already a language pack for your locale, you may try to create one following the directions @ http://ajax-softwareag.com/articles/VIQU62/Localization/L10n_LocalizeJSFLibraries.html
Those instructions were intended for ‘CAF Standalone’ where the applications are deployed to tomcat or jboss. The instructions to get your localized resources into MwS would require a few more manual steps.
The procedure would be something like this:
- build your the language pack binaries
- manually copy the plugins/com.webMethods.caf.shared.lp./*_.jar file binaries to your MwS installation (to MWS/updates)
- run the “MWS/bin/mws.bat update” command to update the server classpath with the new jar files.
- restart MwS.
If you do that then the localized resources should be in the MwS server and available for your applications to use.
