Customizing incomplete localizations

Translation not complete. We are using xwiki 9.11.3 community edition on Debian 9. Our wiki needs a complete localization in German language. Many parts of the translation are still with English terms.

I could not find documentation on how to make custom add-ons to the localization. In older posts an applications_de.properties was mentioned. But this file doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

How can we expand in a custom way the localization of our xwiki installation?

So there is several aspects here.

If you find missing translation it would be great to contribute them on http://l10n.xwiki.org/ :wink: Everything contributed there end up in next version.

Then while waiting for the next version (or before contributing them :slight_smile:) the simplest is usually to put missing translations in a document with object XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass. See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Localization/#HRegisterawikitranslation for more details.

It was ApplicationResources_de.properties and it did not changed, there is just more of those now (it used to only be located in oldcore jar).

And also https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/Tutorials/InternationalizingApplications/#HUsingpropertieslocatedinXWikipages

Note to self: We need to reduce the duplication. Both versions have info that the other version doesn’t have :wink:

Thanks for the quick answers. We try our luck with the TranslationDocumentClass (and as needed possibly the other hints as well).
