About

For i18n in our wicket apps, we use *.properies.xml files like described in https://ci.apache.org/projects/wicket/guide/7.x/guide/i18n.html. Unfortunatelly it is a bit hard to keep the xml files synced between different locales. Another problem is that they are often not user friendly enough to be maintained by the business, so developers have to take care about translations by themsevles. To address this problem we use this maven plugin which basically

  • scans sources for *.properties.xml files
  • merges them into an xlsx file with one column for every locale
  • reads updated xlsx and turns it into properties.xml files again

With the Excel file, it's easy to sort and filter keys, spot missing translations, and it's also more comfortable to use for the business department.
