Question

Is there a way to have a parmeterized string in resource bundle? I need this as the order of nouns can be different in different languages.

For e.g. in my English bundle I will have

love_message={0} loves {1}

And my Latin translator will pick it up and do

love_message={0} {1} amet

And in my page I will have something like

<h:outputText value="#{bundle.love_message,John,Jenny}" />

(If this would have been possible)

So that my English translated page reads

Jonh love Jenny

And Latin page reads

John Jenna amet.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Use <h:outputFormat> instead of <h:outputText>. It can take those parameters as <f:param>:

<h:outputFormat value="#{bundle.love_message}">
    <f:param value="John" />
    <f:param value="Kenny" />
</h:outputFormat>
