In order for the text on Strategy Web pages to be displayed in the appropriate language for the current locale, the text is stored in separate descriptor properties file for each language. The Strategy Web application determines the current locale (using the application language selected in Preferences) and then retrieves text from the appropriate locale-specific descriptor properties file.
The Strategy Developer Library (MSDL) explains how to use these files to localize the text to be displayed in Strategy Web using the custom tag web:descriptor. However, the user can also access these files direclty from the tranform. The following code sample ilustrates how can this be achieved:
Java
ReportBean rb;
Messages messages = rb.getBeanContext().getMessages();
String textToDisplay = messages.getString("mstrWeb.45");
System.out.println(textToDisplay);
