About the internationalization completion
The plugin offers auto-completion for the configuration internationalization. The Talend component configuration lets you setup translatable and user-friendly labels for your configuration using a property file. Auto-completion in possible for the configuration keys and default values in the property file.
For example, you can internationalize a simple configuration class for a basic authentication that you use in your component:
@Checkable("basicAuth")
@DataStore("basicAuth")
@GridLayout({
@GridLayout.Row({ "url" }),
@GridLayout.Row({ "username", "password" }),
})
public class BasicAuthConfig implements Serializable {
@Option
private String url;
@Option
private String username;
@Option
@Credential
private String password;
}This configuration class contains three properties which you can attach a user-friendly label to.
For example, you can define a label like My server URL for the url option:
-
Locate or create a
Messages.propertiesfile in the project resources and add the label to that file. The plugin automatically detects your configuration and provides you with key completion in the property file. -
