How to do :
1 ) To create resource bundles for different languages and then use the ResourceManager class provided by the Flex API to get the resources.
Just changing the locale of the resource manager will reflect changes in the entire application with the values from the new locale’s resource bundle.
How to Create Locale :
For example if I want to support two locales (en_US and fr_FR) in your application and I my parent folder is named as “Locales”, then I might have following folders. As en_US ,fr_FR
It will be like this :
Locales/en_US , Locales/fr_FR
Steps to do before make the Bundle
Part 1 : SDK
Create folder
1 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\bundles \fr_FR
2 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\bundles\fr_FR \src
Download and paste
3.http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/projects/framework/bundles/fr_FR inside step 2
Create folder :
4 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\locale \fr_FR
Execute
5. D:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0
bin\compc -locale=fr_FR -source-path+=frameworks/projects/framework/bundles/fr_FR/src -include-resource-bundles=collections,containers,controls,core,effects,formatters,logging,SharedResources,skins,states,styles,utils,validators -output=frameworks/locale/fr_FR/framework_rb.swc
Part 2 : Project
1. Set System PATH
D:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\bin
2. create required properties file mainBundle.properties
3. keep that file inside a folder with your locale name ‘fr_FR
4.execute from root path
mxmlc -locale=fr_FR -source-path={locale} -include-resource-bundles=mainBundle,collections,containers,controls,core,effects,skins,styles -output=src/Resources_fr_FR.swf
mxmlc -locale=en_US -source-path={locale} -include-resource-bundles=mainBundle,collections,containers,controls,core,effects,skins,styles -output=src/Resources_en_US.swf
After that place that swf file your Project
Locale/en_US :
Inside we need create the file name like “mainBundle.properties” inside that we need to create like that
welcome_title_text=Welcome,
form_first_name_text=First Name
form_second_name_text=Last Name
form_gender_text=Gender
form_gender_list_male_text=Male
form_gender_list_female_text=Female
Locale/fr_FR :
Inside we need create the file name like “mainBundle.properties” inside that we need to create like that
welcome_title_text=Bienvenue ,
form_first_name_text=Prénom
form_second_name_text=Nom de famille
form_gender_text=Sexe
form_gender_list_male_text=Mâle
form_gender_list_female_text=Femelle
Adding Locales to your Projects
Add the locale to the compiler options.
-locale=en_US,fr_FR
