JAR and WAR Files
SDL Passolo supports JAR and WAR files, which have essentially the same structure. WAR files are used primarily in web applications. In the text below we refer to JAR files, but the same applies to WAR files.
JAR files are archives that contain all the files belonging to a Java application. Including the compiled Java classes, the ResourceBundles and property files, the data and configuration files, etc.
JAR files can be set up as multilingual archives containing the localized data for multiple languages. In this case the localized data is stored in separate files for each language, as indicated above, with filenames based on the described naming convention.
Passolo can extract the data to be localized from JAR files and create multilingual JAR files. If more than one target language is to be included in a JAR file, it is advisable to define the source language as one of the target languages, so that all the target languages can be added successively to the same JAR file.
