i18n-internationalization

AWE implements a i18n system for internationalization of web applications. For this reason, AWE uses locale files containing literals in different languages.

Also you can add CDATA tag inside local in markdown language to show rich text. Very useful when you want to show a lot of formatting information. For example in the help screen application. You can view all markdown syntax in this page.

info

Note: All locales are defined in the Locale-[Country code].xml files at locale folder. The country codes must be two capital letters. View project structure for more info.

Locales XML structure

The full locale structure is the next one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
