Could you tell me if the rich text area component is already localized? I tried setting the locale but didn’t work.
Regards.
The RichTextArea is not localized (we probably won’t localize it to many languages) and does not support localization by user yet. Looks like I’ve written a ticket (
#2189
) about it before.
The client-side of the RichTextArea is actually internationalized, but does not contain any other localizations but English and does not provide any way for the user to provide localizations. Well, you can localize the buttons by replacing the image composite in CSS, but not the texts in the dropdown lists.
If you really really need to localize it, you need to make a custom widget that inherits VRichTextToolbar (as well as VRichTextArea) and provides the localized strings. The localized strings are stored in a property file, which is compiled in during widget set compilation. This might be a good idea for an add-on, until the RichTextArea is fixed.
There are some existing rich text area replacement add-ons, such as
CKEditor
and
TinyMCE
wrappers for Vaadin. They might or might not support localization.
Old but interisting. Any updates on this topic ?
