Re: [Apiman-user] APIMAN Internationalization question
by Eric Wittmann
Hi qiyang, thanks for the question. I'm CC'ing the apiman-user mailing
list since I think the answer might be broadly helpful. :)
There are various places where internationalization comes into play.
You are asking specifically about the UI templates, so I'll address that
first. The UI templates do contain the "default" language strings,
which in this case are english. The UI is built on Errai/GWT, which
comes with i18n support built in. The way it works is that Errai will
automatically translate the strings in the templates by using an
appropriate JSON translation bundle file for the current locale (if one
exists). You can find the default bundle file here:
https://github.com/apiman/apiman/blob/master/manager/ui/war/src/main/java...
Because the defaults are *also* taken from the templates, I don't
actually have any strings in the default bundle. However, the way this
works is very similar to java message bundles - there would be multiple
messages.json files with different locales, such as
"messages_en_US.json" or "messages_fr.json". The framework will pick
the right one at runtime based on the current browser locale.
The other interesting thing to note is that during the build, Errai will
output a couple of generated bundle files that contain all of the
strings that *should* be present in the bundle file. This can be found
here:
apiman/manager/ui/war/target/classes/.errai/errai-bundle-all.json
So we can take that file and copy it into src/main/java as mentioned
above, and it could become the default bundle file. Then copy it again
and rename it as messages_en_US.json and it would be the correct US
English bundle file, etc...
All of this should be working today, so creating a UI translation should
be possible (with the caveat that we haven't actually tried it yet, so
there may be some bugs).
Note that there are also places in the UI *other than the templates*
where user-visible strings are used and must be translatable. These
strings are all located here:
https://github.com/apiman/apiman/blob/master/manager/ui/war/src/main/java...
Adding a string in that form will allow Errai to discover it at build
time and include it with the rest of the strings it finds in the templates.
Of course, there are also strings that are used on the server-side in
both the API Manager and API Gateway that should also ideally be
translated. In those cases (all non-UI related strings) we use standard
java message bundles. :)

How to remove a service or an organization in apiman web interface
by Rao Dingyuan
Hi folks,
I'm quite new to apiman and I found that I CANNOT remove an organization, or
a service, or even a version, no matter if I login as an organization owner
or admin. Is this a bug? Or I missed something?
Thanks a lot!
