| <h2><a name="translate">Translate</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p>Identifies keys in files delimited by special tokens |
| and translates them with values read from resource bundles. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A resource bundle contains locale-specific key-value pairs. |
| A resource bundle is a hierarchical set of property files. |
| A bundle name makes up its base family name. Each file that |
| makes up this bundle has this name plus its locale. For example, |
| if the resource bundle name is MyResources, the file that contains |
| German text will take the name MyResources_de. In addition to |
| language, country and variant are also used to form the files in |
| the bundle. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The resource bundle lookup searches for resource files with various |
| suffixes on the basis of (1) the desired locale and (2) the default |
| locale (basebundlename), in the following order from lower-level |
| (more specific) to parent-level (less specific): |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| basebundlename + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1 + "_" + variant1 |
| basebundlename + "_" + language1 + "_" + country1 |
| basebundlename + "_" + language1 |
| basebundlename |
| basebundlename + "_" + language2 + "_" + country2 + "_" + variant2 |
| basebundlename + "_" + language2 + "_" + country2 |
| basebundlename + "_" + language2 |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| The file names generated thus are appended with the string ".properties" |
| to make up the file names that are to be used. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| File encoding is supported. The encoding scheme of the source files, |
| destination files and the bundle files can be specified. |
| |
| Destination files can be explicitly overwritten using the |
| <var>forceoverwrite</var> attribute. If <var>forceoverwrite</var> |
| is false, the destination file is overwritten only if either the |
| source file or any of the files that make up the bundle have been |
| modified after the destination file was last modified. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <em>New in Ant 1.6:</em><br/> |
| Line endings of source files are preserved in the translated files. |
