Populating the Bundle with Resources</H3> 88 <P><B>Working within a Group</B></P> 89 <P>In the tutorial file, following the process described in the previous 90 step, I created a group called 'Questions' and gave it a comment. To view 91 the group that you created, make sure that the base class at the top of 92 the file tree to the left is selected, press the 'Groups' tab on the right, 93 and select your group name from the drop down menu. With any luck, you 94 will see something like this:</P> 95 <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/empty_group.gif" WIDTH="750" HEIGHT="432"></P> 96 <P>From this view, there are several options that are to be found in the 97 six buttons to the lower right. We are now going to create a resource. 98 This can be accomplished by either pressing the button 'Create Resource' 99 or selecting 'Add New Resource...' from the 'Options' menu at the top 100 of the screen.</P> 101 <P><B>Filling in Resource Information</B></P> 102 <P>Once you follow one of the above two steps, you should see a dialog similar 103 to the following:</P> 104 <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/empty_resource.gif"></P> 105 <P>The group shown is the one currently being viewed when you clicked on 106 the 'Create Resource' button. If you used the menu to bring up this dialog, 107 it may be a different group. You may move the resource to any group you 108 wish by changing the value in this drop down box. Both the entry key and 109 the translation fields are required information. These make up the lookup 110 value and the translation value respectively stored in your bundle. The 111 comment field is there in order to aid those who will be translating your 112 work into other languages. This field provides a way for you to describe 113 the context of this particular resource.</P> 114 <P>There are a few ways to create the resource once the information is entered. 115 Pressing 'Create' will add the resource and close the dialog. If you wish 116 to continue creating resources after the current one, pressing 'Create 117 & Continue' will create the resource, clear the information you have 118 just entered, and allow you to enter in a new resource. Pressing 'Cancel' 119 will close the dialog box and ignore any information currently entered. 120 As a short cut, you can also hit enter from any of the text boxes but 121 'Translation'. This will create the resource. Pressing enter from the 122 translation text box, creates a translation that spans multiple lines 123 of text.</P> 124 <P>A sample resource creation is show as follows:</P> 125 <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/basic_resource.gif"></P> 126 <P><B>Using 'Look-ups'</B></P> 127 <P>Resource bundles provide a way of translating contextual information 128 as well. For instance, what if I wanted a translation asking the user 129 how old they were, and I wanted to ask it with their name inserted into 130 the question. The placement of their name might be different in different 131 languages. This is the reason for 'look-ups'. The java.text package defines 132 a way for implementing these look-ups using numbers surrounded by curly 133 braces. Thus, I might want to create a resource like the one below:</P> 134 <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/lookup_resource.gif"></P> 135 <P>Once you enter anything into your translation surrounded by curly braces 136 and change the focus away from the translation field, the dialog box will 137 update itself with areas for you to enter descriptions of the look-ups 138 you have entered. This feature of RBManager allows future translators 139 to understand the context of each look-up.</P> 140 <P><B>Editing the Resources</B></P> 141 <P>From the 'Groups' tab view, you can at any time edit the default values 142 for a resource. As you enter in new resources they will appear in the 143 group view as shown:</P> 144 <P><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/basic_group.gif" WIDTH="750" HEIGHT="432"></P> 145 <P>Double clicking on a resource will bring a dialog box up similar to the 146 one for creating a resource. Remember that it is only from this view that 147 you will be able to change the resource in a way that will effect the 148 entire bundle. Thus it is only in this view that you can change the resource's 149 group, key name, and default translation and comment.</P> 150 <P><A HREF="step3.html">Back to Step 3</A> -or- <A HREF="step5.html">Forward 151 to Step 5</A></P> 152 <!-- #EndEditable --></TD> 153 </TR> 154 <TR> 155 <TD BACKGROUND="../images/template_ll.gif" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="200"> 156 <!-- Comment --> 157 </TD> 158 <TD WIDTH="80"> 159 <!-- Comment --> 160 </TD> 161 <TD> 162 <CENTER><SPAN CLASS="Copyright">Copyright 2000-2001 International Business Machines, All Rights Reserved</SPAN></CENTER> 163 </TD> 164 </TR> 165</TABLE> 166 167</BODY> 168<!-- #EndTemplate --></HTML> 169
