Responsible for fetching internationalised text for a given key.
  • Field Details

  • Method Details

    • getText

      String getText(@Nullable String key)
      Get the i18n text for a particular key.
    • getText

      String getText(@Nullable String key, @Nullable Object[] args)
      Get the i18n text for a particular key, formatted through MessageFormat with the given arguments. Works similarly to ActionSupport.getText(String, java.util.List), but the array form is necessary to work well with Velocity.
      Parameters:
      key - the key to retrieve the i18n text for
      args - an array of arguments to be passed in to the MessageFormat.format(java.lang.Object[], java.lang.StringBuffer, java.text.FieldPosition) for this text
      Returns:
      the appropriate i18n text, formatted with the supplied arguments
      See Also:
    • getText

      default String getText(String key, Object[] args, boolean onlyRawValue)
    • getText

      String getText(@Nullable String key, @Nullable List list)
    • getText

      String getText(Message message)
      Gets the i18n text for the specified message, formatting the message's value and arguments with MessageFormat.
      Parameters:
      message - the message to format, containing an i18n key and arguments
      Returns:
      the formatted message
    • getTextStrict

      String getTextStrict(String i18nKey)
      Needed for text that should not be marked up (for example, values for the 'accessKey' attribute in an input element)
      Parameters:
      i18nKey - the key to retrieve localised text for
      Returns:
      text for i18nKey (and excludes markup regardless of settings)
    • getResourceBundle

      ResourceBundle getResourceBundle()
    • getTranslationsForPrefix

      Map<String,String> getTranslationsForPrefix(String prefix)
      Gets a map of all keys that start with the given prefix, and their corresponding localised text, suitable for rendering with MessageFormat. It is strongly recommended that plugin developers not use this, as its performance is not guaranteed. Instead, apply translations for specific keys (e.g. via the jsI18n web resource transformer).
      Since:
      5.0
    • getUntransformedRawText

      String getUntransformedRawText(String key)
      Same as getText(String) but does not apply any TranslationTransforms.
      Parameters:
      key - the key of the i18n message
      Returns:
      the un-formatted text or the key itself if no i18n message can be found
