Hi Saumil,

Liferay supports multi-languages (22 languages)

Abstract from Liferay Book:

It is quite easy to configure the web site with multilingual support. You can simply add the Language portlet to any Page and allow end-users to quickly select a different localization with one click. Let's do it as follows:

1. To change the current language into German language, you simply click on the icon, "Deutsch (Deutschland)", in the Language portlet.

2. The whole web site will appear in German language, and a sample is shown in the following figure.

Thanks for the reply.
But how do I configure the properties files in the external war.
Where should I keep my properties file in my application .

One example:

Removing an Unwanted Language (Abstract from the Liferay Book)

By default, Liferay supports all the following languages.

locales=ar_SA,ca_AD,ca_ES,zh_CN,zh_TW,cs_CZ,nl_NL,en_US,fi_FI,fr_FR,de_DE,el_GR,hu_HU,it_IT,ja_JP,ko_KR,fa_IR,pt_BR,ru_RU,es_ES,sv_SE,tr_TR,vi_VNIf

you want to support English, German and Chinese only, you can simply remove the unwanted locales, and your locales value looks like
this:

locales=en_US,de_DE,zh_CN

Hi,
I think there is some miscommunication. i have created my own application in a separate WAR. How do I configure Internationalization in that application without taking help of ext environment . I am talking in point of coding . where should i keep my properties file . Please let me know if you want any more info.

Thanks

Hi Saumil,

It is very useful for you to develop portlet with multi-languages supported

When you develop new portlet either Struts or Spring MVC (or JSF), you can use above languages settings.

Liferay keeps multi-languages supported simple.

Good Luck!
