Translating Jira 4.4

[Jonathas Knoth]

Good morning,

I'm translating the Jira 4.4 to Portuguese Brazil. I can not find the file "language_default.jar" as the tutorial mentions (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Translating+JIRA).

Someone tell me where is this file.

Thank you.

Looks like there is no default jar there. But you can start from jira-lang-en_US-4.4.jar and do the same thing. It should just work fine.

Update: the default file is there under WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/jira/web/action. You can just copy it, create the new language file as mentioned in the doc and then restart JIRA.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried to translate a few labels from jira-lang-en_US-4.4.jar but there are only a few of then there. There are still a lot of then in english on my JIRA but i cannot find where they are defined. Is there any order that JIRA uses to find these labels? Something like search in a default file, then in another...

Thank you

It first looks at the language property file and if the property is missing from there, it will look at the default file. Seems the default file is there under WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/jira/web/action folder. I have updated the answer. Try that!

Correct for a complete translation is necessary to translate the file "WEB-INF\classes\com\atlassian\jira\web\action\JiraWebActionSupport.properties"

I appreciate your answers.

Tks
