Translation of Texts of SAPUI5 Apps

In general, language-dependent texts of SAPUI5 apps are stored in properties files (resource bundles):

• There's a default properties file for the source texts which contains all externalized strings from the app. It looks like this:

  <name>.properties (<name> is an identifier)

  Example: i18n.properties

  Note

  An app can have n properties files.

• During the translation process, properties files are created for every language the app is translated to and they look like this:

  <name of property file>_<locale>.properties (<locale> contains the language and an optional country code)

  Example: i18n_en_US.properties contains the American English texts of the i18n.properties source file.

This is the recommended approach for translating texts of SAPUI5 apps, for example SAP Fiori apps.
