Preface

Managing internationalization labels


OFBiz "labels" are the mechanism used to handle the locale-sensitive translation of many HTML form elements. While the underlying internationalization and localization support within OFBiz is implemented using Java ResourceBundles, and is for the most part transparent to the application developer, the manual management of the translated objects that make up these resources is the subject of this section.

At last count, there are over 10,000 unique labels defined. Each of these labels has the potential of being translated into any supported language. To see at a glance all labels, and quickly edit a translation for a label, you may use the OFBiz Label Manager tool.

Note

Note: for optimum performance when using the OFBiz Label Manager, make sure you set your JVM memory settings to the highest possible values supported by your hosting machine.
