The languages defined in studio are supported by language settings in the runtime. These define for a specific language or dialect how information is displayed. By using the language code, you can define properties such as messages_en-GB.properties with all settings regarding the en-GB language. A default messages.properties is available as fallback. Please be aware that if you have a messages.properties in your config location, the messages.properties from the WAR will not be used anymore.

Value Formats

In the runtime you are able to define the formatting of attributes in a language specific manner. This is done using value formats. These value formats are by default available to use:

The above value formats can be applied per data type per language inside the language-formats.properties inside the config location.

The following settings are used out of the box:

integer=default-integer-format
number=default-number-format-dot-4d
currency=default-currency-format-dot-2d
percentage=default-percentage-format-dot-2d
date=default-date-format
datetime=default-datetime-format
boolean=default-boolean-format

integer.nl-NL=default-integer-format-nl-NL
number.nl-NL=default-number-format-dot-4d-nl-NL
currency.nl-NL=default-currency-format-dot-2d-nl-NL
percentage.nl-NL=default-percentage-format-dot-2d-nl-NL
date.nl-NL=default-date-format-nl-NL
datetime.nl-NL=default-datetime-format-nl-NL
boolean.nl-NL=default-boolean-format-nl-NL

Creating your own format

Next to the defaults that are provided out-of-the-box, you are able to create your own language formats as well. To do this, create an own format in the Globals section. You can use the name of this global format now as well inside the language-formats.properties file.
