public class PropsFilePseudoLocalizer
extends java.lang.Object

Given a simple .properties file, pseudo-localize its values. English filename.properties becomes filename_en_AA.properties; other languages' filename_la.properties becomes filename_la_AA.properties.

Runs each property value through StringUtil.pseudolocalise(String) from the JBoss Ant-Gettext utilities.

Method Detail

makePseudoPropFilename

public static final java.lang.String makePseudoPropFilename(java.lang.String srcPropFilename)
                                                     throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Make a filename for a pseudo locale properties file.

Parameters:

srcPropFilename - Source filename to localize from, ending with ".properties". English filename.properties becomes filename_en_AA.properties; other languages' filename_la.properties becomes filename_la_AA.properties. Source filename format filename_la_COUNTRY.properties is not supported.

Returns:

The pseudolocalized property file filename from srcPropFilename, see above for details

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if srcPropFilename contains more than 1 underscore ('_')

pseudoLocalizeFile

public static void pseudoLocalizeFile(java.io.File srcPropFile,
                                      java.lang.String destPropFilename)
                               throws java.io.IOException

Pseudolocalize a source file to a destination. If the destination exists, it will be overwritten.

Parameters:

srcPropFilename - Source file to localize from, filename ending with ".properties"

destPropFilename - Pseudo filename to localize to, from makePseudoPropFilename(String)

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs reading or writing the files

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

With 1 argument, pseudolocalize that filename's values. With 0 or more than 1, print help message.

Return codes:

• 0 = success; the file was written, its filename was printed to System.err
• 1 = help message was printed and exited, no file was written
• 2 = problem with the source filename (too many underscores), no file was written
• 4 = IO error was printed

Parameters:

args - Single filename to pseudolocalize, with same rules as #pseudoLocalizeFile(String)
