Localyzer Dashboard FAQ

The Resource Manager Completion widget indicates 100% but some kits are outstanding. What does it mean?

The Completion widget is based on the base files (say, en US files) and the translated files (say de and fr) to determine how many keys, how many files, how many base words do not have a translation. If the French files, the keys in the base file, and the translated texts are present, the Completion widget will say 100%.

If the base file text (en US for instance) has been modified, prep kits should be sent for translation. The source files still have the equivalent translated files, with all the keys and all the text, so it remains at 100%.

I have installed Dashboard Server but I keep getting an error on ./sonar start

You can try to start Sonar by launching this command in $DASHBOARD_HOME:

  java -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -server -Xmx512m -Xms256m -cp lib/*:extensions/jdbc-driver/derby/*:extensions/jdbc-driver/mssql/*:extensions/jdbc-driver/mysql/*:extensions/jdbc-driver/oracle/*:extensions/jdbc-driver/postgresql.*:. org.sonar.application.StartServer

Unable to read and import the source file: What do I do?

I'm getting this error when importing files using the Dashboard_Update.sh:

ERROR: Error during Sonar runner execution
ERROR: Unable to execute Sonar

This indicates that the import part of the Dashboard is trying to read a file with an encoding (here UTF-8) which is not the encoding of the file to read, or the file is corrupted for that encoding.

Some possible solutions:

• Exclude the offending file(s) from being imported using sonar-project.properties sonar.exclusions=com/example/tests/**,com/example/package2/*.java.
• Change the encoding of the Dashboard import using sonar-project.properties sonar.sourceEncoding=Cp1252 or whatever is the right encoding for the project.
