Each messages_*.properties file that you create or customise must contain the following language identifier properties at the top of the file:
lang.name=language-name
lang.charset=character-set-id
Where:
language-name - is the name of the language as you want it to appear to your shoppers in the Select Language drop down box on the Payment Selection page. If the name includes special characters, such as, umlauts and accents, then you will need to specify these in Unicode, to ensure these characters display correctly in all browsers.
character-set-id - is the name of the encoding needed to support the display and the characters used by the language.
For example, the properties for the German language should be:
lang.name=Deutsch
lang.charset=ISO-8859-1
Where the character set id ISO-8859-1, also known as 'Latin-1', is a standard character encoding of the Latin alphabet.
A message file that does not include the required language identifiers will not function correctly.
If you use the Languages option in the Payment Page editor to add a language version, a message file containing just the language identifiers will be added to your Test environment. Similarly, if you use a message file to add one of our supported languages, you do not need to add the entire language file to your Test environment, you only need to include the language identifiers in the file to enable the language. |
You can update the properties and the required values manually, or copy them from the following files on our secure server.
