Localization and Internationalization

You can localize different objects in the Mobile Workflow Forms Editor, such as the names of screen controls, screens, and mobile business objects.

You can localize the mobile workflow by creating locale properties files. You can then load, update, and generate localized mobile workflow applications.

All the localizable strings in the Mobile Workflow Forms Editor XML model work as resource keys in the localization properties file. All the localization properties files are in the same directory as the Mobile Workflow packages (.xbw files).

Resource keys are divided into these categories, which include all the elements of the Mobile Workflow Forms Editor XML model:

• Menus
• Controls
• Screens

Localization consists of two levels of localization—the Mobile Workflow Forms Editor XML model localization and the Mobile Workflow client localization.

All locale properties files are saved in the same directory as the Mobile Workflow package.

• Localization Limitations
  Some restrictions for the locale properties files apply:
• Localizing a Mobile Workflow Package
  Use the Mobile Workflow Forms Editor to complete these tasks to localize Mobile Workflow packages (.xbw files).
• Mobile Workflow Package Internationalization
  The internationalization feature depends on the internationalization setting on the operating system where Sybase Unwired Platform Mobile Workflow is running.
• Internationalization on the Device
  On the device, e-mail messages and data can include languages other than English.
