Warning and Error Messages

Overview

ZK's messages (such as warnings and errors) are packed in property files (*.properties) under the /metainfo/mesg directory of the classpath. These mesages are grouped into modules, such as zcommon, zweb, zk and zul. These files are Locale depedent. 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, and put it to the /metainfo/mesg directory of the classpath. Of course, it is always better to contribute it back. Please take a look at ZK Messages for all available translations. If you'd like to contribute, just add the language to it and notice us at info at zkoss dot org.

Change particular message

[since 6.0.0]

If you want to change a particular message, you can add it to zk-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/zk-label_de.properties:

MZk.3000=my customized message here

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