ZK Developer's Reference/Internationalization/Warning and Error Messages

This documentation is for an older version of ZK. For the latest one, please click here.

Messages are stored in properties files which are located at the /metainfo/mesg directory of the classpath. Each module is associated with an unique name. In addition, the Locale is appended to the property file, too. For example, the message file of zk.jar for Germany messages is msgzk_de_DN.properties or msgzk_de.properties.

Translate messages to another language

If you want to translate messages to another language, you can add your own property files named with the correct locale to the /metainfo/mesg directory of the classpath. Of course, it is always better to contribute it back at ZK Mesgs

Change particular message

[since 5.1.0]

If you want to change a particular message, you can add it to i3-label.properties. For example, let us see you want to customize MZk.NOT_FOUND in German translation, then you can add the following to WEB-INF/i3-label_de.properties:

MZk.3000=my customized message here

where 3000 is the error code and you can find it at ZK Mesgs
