I18N issues and gibberish characters problem on Fl...

dhbtemp · ‎09-20-2016

Hi,

I have already tested the latest html-client-sdk-6.5.0-4379154.zip SDK on local development environment, but there might be some gibberish characters problems with the sdk(please refer to gibberish_characters.png).

By the way, I test I18N use html-client-sdk\samples\globalview-html sample, with the following steps:

1. modify file globalview-html\build-war.xml
===========
      
      <mxmlc-macro>
         <arg line="-locale=en_US" />
         <arg line="-source-path+=${SRC_DIR}/locale/{locale}"/>
         <arg line="-output=${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-en_US.swf"/>
         <arg line="-include-resource-bundles ${BUNDLE_NAME}" />
      </mxmlc-macro>

      <mxmlc-macro>
         <arg line="-locale=ja_JP" />
         <arg line="-source-path+=${SRC_DIR}/locale/{locale}"/>
         <arg line="-output=${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-ja_JP.swf"/>
         <arg line="-include-resource-bundles ${BUNDLE_NAME}" />
      </mxmlc-macro>

      <copy file="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-en_US.swf"
          tofile="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-de_DE.swf"/>
      <copy file="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-en_US.swf"
          tofile="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-fr_FR.swf"/>
      <copy file="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-en_US.swf"
          tofile="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-ko_KR.swf"/>
      <copy file="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-en_US.swf"
          tofile="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-zh_CN.swf"/>
      <copy file="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-en_US.swf"
          tofile="${WEBAPP_DIR}/locales/${PROJECT_NAME}-zh_TW.swf"/>
============

2. create globalview-html\src\main\locale\ja_JP directory and edit com_vmware_samples_h5_globalview.properties file：
===========
app.name = 11111
app.mainView = 22222
app.settingView = 3333
app.vcView = 44444

mainView.clickToCall = I18N-Jajp Click to call the EchoService
mainView.gotoSettings = I18N-Jajp Go to Settings View
mainView.gotoVCenter = I18N-Jajp Go to vCenter View
mainView.helloBtn = I18N-Jajp
mainView.world = I18N-Jajp World!

settingView.label1 = I18N-Jajp First setting:
settingView.label2 = I18N-Jajp Second setting:
settingView.label3 = I18N-Jajp Third setting:
settingView.update = I18N-Jajp Update
settingView.gotoMain = I18N-Jajp Go to Main View
settingEnum.VAL1 = I18N-Jajp First enum value
settingEnum.VAL2 = I18N-Jajp Second enum value
settingEnum.VAL3 = I18N-Jajp Third enum value
============

3. ant build globalview-html project, and the related I18N file is successfully generated on globalview-html\src\main\webapp\locales directory.

4. set the browser languages to Japanese, then restart browser.

5. run development environment with https://localhost:9443/ui/

But the result seems that I18n on Flying4 still not work(refer to attachment i18n_not_work.png).

I find that the Javascript API WEB_PLATFORM.getLocale() which defined in globalview-html\src\main\webapp\resources\js\web-platform.js is return null, please see web_platform_getLocale_value_is_null.png

my test environment:

• html-client-sdk : html-client-sdk-6.5.0-4379154.zip

• vCenter Server : 6.0 u2

• OS: Windows7 sp1_64bit_ChineseSimple

• browser: Google Chrome 49.0.2623.112

Please let me know if you have any suggestions to resolve it.

Thanks for the detailed bug report. WEB_PLATFORM.getLocale() is not yet implemented indeed and will be added soon. The fact that Unicode characters are not displayed correctly is also a known problem being fixed. Stay tune for a future Fling!

Hi,

WEB_PLATFORM.getLocale() is now implemented as part of Fling 5. Please try it out and report any issues.

Cheers,

Vladimir

Hi,

thank you for your reply.

I tested the html-client-sdk-6.5.0-4450180, but I still have some problems here.

For example, the content displayed in some places becomes question marks.

There is a problem I am not sure. The interface content is based on the international language when browser change the language?

I changed the browser language from Chinese to English, but the interface is still displayed in Chinese.

And I found a new problem, the task bar to pull up wide after the drag, and then drag down to reduce the time there is a display problem.

I will issue the screenshot posted below.

Thanks again.

For feedback on the HTML Client itself (and not an SDK issue) it's better to comment directly on in the comments section of the Fling page at vSphere HTML5 Web Client, it will receive immediate attention from other people. AFAIK we don't have these issues in our later builds.

Also, as far as switching the locale on the fly. You need to log out and log back in again after you change the Browser's locale.
