Supported Resource Bundles

What resource file types are supported by LRM?

Standard LRM extensions

• .htm and .html files using the html parser
• .json (Mostly JavaScript, and other programming languages) using the json parser
• .msg (C, C++, ...) using the msg parser
• .po files using the po parser
• .properties files (Java-type resources) using properties parser
• .resx files (used in the .Net world) using xml parser and the ResxParser.xml format definition
• .rc (Delphi, ...) using the rc parser
• .rjs (for JavaScript) using the js parser
• .rxml using the xml parser and the RxmlParser.xml format definition)
• .strings (Mobile iOS) using the strings parser
• strings.xml (Android) using the xml parser and the AndroidParser.xml format definition

Unique Extensions

Any file extension can be handled by LRM as long as the corresponding parser type is defined. The file must be able to be parsed correctly by the defined parser type or an error will occur. The parser types are:

• html parser
• js parser
• json parser
• msg parser
• po parser
• properties parser
• rc parser
• strings parser
• xml parser

Lingoport Resource Manager Configuration

LRM creates projects using a Project Definition XML file that contains information about the resources and types for translation. Here is a typical .xml definition for projects with .properties files.

This will create a project called com.company.project in the group SVNFTP. The resource files are located in the /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/SVNFTP.com.company.project/workspace directory. The resources are targeting six different locales. The resource files to be translated are .properties files.

This is the LRM project name that will be created. LRM will create a project called com.company.project

<project-name>com.company.project</project-name>

This is the LRM group name that the project will be under.

<group-name>SVNFTP</group-name>

This is the location of the resource files for source code associated with the com.company.project LRM project.

<top-level-dir>/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/SVNFTP.com.company.project/workspace</top-level-dir>

This is the locale to translate from

<default-locale>en_US</default-locale>

Here are the locales which will be translated into

 <target-locales>
   <locale>fr</locale>
   <locale>de_DE</locale>
   <locale>slv</locale>
   <locale>nob_NO_UNI</locale>
   <locale>zh_Hant</locale>
   <locale>ZHT_Hans</locale>
 </target-locales>

This tells LRM to look for .properties resource files.

<extension>properties</extension>

Here is a sample Project Definition file to create an LRM project. This example is for .properties files. Additional <resource-extension> stanzas can be added to include other extensions. Samples for the supported extensions can be found in <HOME>/lingoport/lrm-server-x.y/samples.
