Introduction to CloudBlue Commerce Locales

A locale is a complex of an application's interface captions and messages in a certain language.

In CloudBlue Commerce, a set of files containing the interface messages for all available control panels and system component interfaces localized in a certain language is called a system locale, language or language pack.

The scheme below shows the corresponding localization files per component.

Localization files have different formats depending on the type of component:

• Operations component (PCP). For this component, .xml files are used.

• Billing component (Billing PCP), online store, CCP v1, and MyCP. For these components, zip archive with three files is used:

  • locale.cc
  • locale-bmstore.cc

  • locale-info.cc

    where cc – country code, for example, en, fr, it, ru, etc.

    For more details, refer to the Billing Interface Localization Mechanism section.

• Service components (UX1 for Customers and PCP) which are based on the APS technology. For such components, .po files are used.
• Runtime. The corresponding .po file should be converted to JSON format by means of APS development tool (aps msgfmt command).
