messageproperties.md

Domain 'messageproperties'

The messageproperties subfolder allows to drop in message properties files for i18n support. This is a possible example of its content:

messageproperties/
  ├── metadata_en.properties
  ├── metadata_km_KH.properties
  └── ...

There can be as many message properties internationalization files as needed. This domain differs from most others since nothing from its configuration is persisted in database, everything is stored in the runtime memory upon starting the Initializer.

If one needs to configure the order in which message properties files load, for example if one message properties file contains message codes that should override those in another in the same locale, one can do this by utilizing a special message code named "_order". Two message properties files in the same locale will be loaded in order based first on the value of any "_order" property defined, and second based on the alphabetical order of the absolute path of the file. If a file does not have an "_order" property defined, it will have an implicit order of 2147483647 (Integer.MAX_VALUE). So a file with an "_order" defined less than this value will always load prior to one with no explicit order defined.

Please look at the test configuration folder for sample import files for all domains, see here.
