Greetings,
There is a number of ApplicationResources_xx.properties in XWiki
and it looks like all of them are different (contain different set
of keys).
Both ApplicationResources.properties and
ApplicationResources_en.properties are in english and are mostly
identical except for ~70 missing keys in _en file.
Given that, I have two questions:
1. What is the "most supported" message resources file?
ApplicationResources.properties
1) When a key is missing it's looked for in
AppliationResources.properties. This allows any language to work even
if there are missing keys.
2) I don't know why we have a AppplicationResources_en.properties as
it's supposed to be the same as ApplicationResources.properties. IMO
we should remove it
2. Are all messages from .properties used in XWiki, or
some are
redundant?
It's possible that some messages are no longer used.
If the latter, are there plans for removal of
unnecessary keys for
1.0 release?
Sure, if you want to help you can tell us which ones are no longer
used, submit a patch and we'll remove them.
Note that we also have some work to do in the future on the message
to use sentences instead of just words. This will allow languages not
using the same word ordering than enlglish to provide a translation
for XWiki.
Thanks
