Localization

IBI-helpMe can be fully localized. The resources directory in the client directory is used for this purpose. This directory contains a localization file for each language. German and English are available by default.

Accordingly, the following files are located in the resources directory

• strings.default.xml
Contains texts in the default language. The default language for these texts is English
  

• strings.de.xml
  Contains German texts

Other languages

If another language is to be supported, please proceed as follows:

1. Create a copy of the existing string file (e.g. strings.default.xml)
2. Rename the file in such a way that the name of the file contains the language ID of the target language (in double-digit ISO format, with country code if required). See the following examples
   1. strings.fr.xml (for French)
   2. strings.it.xml (for Italian)
   3. strings.de-CH.xml (for Swiss-German)

Individual entries

 You can define individual entries in the localization file, which can be used for localizing input fields, for example.

    <!-- Custom strings -->
    <string id="Custom.MyString">
      MyString
    </string>

It may happen that new texts are added during an IBI-helpMe update. To speed up the update in this case, we recommend to place individual entries at the end of the relevant files so that they can later simply be accepted in the updated files.
