Support a new language
To support a new language to IBM WebSphere Portal you add resource bundles and, where applicable, JSPs for the new language.
Some JSPs use resource bundles; others, such as help JSPs, are translated directly. Then you update the list of available languages by adding the new language to the portal. We do this using xmlaccess.sh. Use the example XML script CreateLanguage.xml to add the new language for the portal. We can also use it to remove an existing language from the portal. The new language is then listed in the language selection menu boxes available in administration portlets, or for example, in Edit My Profile, Preferred language.
The new language will be available only to portlets added to the portal, if these portlets support the newly added language and if you make the required language files available. None of the WebSphere Portal user interface or messages will be translated to the new language.
