Main Steps for Creating an Internationalized Message
Internationalization Guide 1-5
2. Run i18ngen to validate the catalog you created or edited in Step 1 and generate
runtime classes.
The generated classes contain a method for each message. The method is defined
according to information specified in the message catalog entry. The methods
include
Logger or TextFormatter methods, depending on the type of catalog.
For details, see “18ngen Utility” on page 4-4.
3. Create locale-specific catalogs as required for the message catalog you created in
Step 1.
4. Run l10ngen to process the locale-specific catalogs.
5. Instrument the application to use the Logger or TextFormatter methods you
generated in Step 2. When the application logs or returns a message, the message
is written using the localized version of the text according to the
Logger or
TextFormatter methods used.
These steps are described in detail in the following topics. For more detailed
information, including an overview of the logging subsystem and a description of log
message parts, see
“Using Log Messages to Manage WebLogic Servers” in the
WebLogic Server Administration Guide.
