l10n:pseudo

Full name:

org.codehaus.mojo:l10n-maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-2:pseudo

Description:

Allows you to do an automated pseudo-localization to test the completeness of your project's internationalization effort. This technique simulates the process of localizing products by prefixing and suffixing all your internationalized messages.

For more information on pseudo-localization, see I18N Testing Guidelines and Techniques.

For more general information on localization, see Java Internationalization: Localization with ResourceBundles.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven 2.0 project to be executed.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: process-classes.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
excludes List - The list of resources we don't want to pseudo-localize. By default, no files are excluded.
includes List - The list of resources we want to pseudo-localize. If not specified, the default pattern is **/*.properties.
inputDirectory File - The input directory from which we copy the resources. The plugin scans the build output directory by default, in order to have the complete set of resources that end up in the product. Default value is: ${project.build.outputDirectory}.
outputDirectory File - The output directory into which to copy the resources. Default value is: ${project.build.outputDirectory}.
pseudoLocPattern String - Pattern for replacement of localized string values. The plugin iterates over all properties in the property files and replaces the values using MessageFormat with this value as a formatting pattern. The pattern is expected to contain this sequence {0} exactly once with a prefix and/or suffix. Default value is: XXX �� {0} YYY.
pseudoLocale String - Locale name that is used for pseudo-localization. The resulting property files will have the following name: <filename>_<pseudoLocale>.properties. Default value is: xx.
