PI43101: STORE TRANSLATED STRINGS FOR DESIGN CONTENT IN WCM, RATHER THAN HAVING TO STORE THEM ON THE FILE SYSTEM

Fixes integrated in WebSphere Portal 8.5.0.0 Combined Cumulative Fixes

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• New function to allow storing translated strings in WCM.
  
  When I create design content (e.g. page components such as
  slideshows, lists, video teasers) I want to reuse the same
  design content but have the page content show strings in the
  correct language.
  
  The solution for this in WCM is text providers. However,
  currently the translations for these text provider is
  typically stored in a JAR inside a web applications. As part
  of this story we will allow such translations to be stored in
  WCM. This means the translated content can be syndicated,
  workflowed and versioned along with the design content. It
  also means that you do not need J2EE skills to create the
  translated content - a web designer can now easily do this.
  This is helpful on the Cloud - these translations can be done
  in a browser, without requiring access to the server file
  system.
  
  This enhancement allows you to create a content or site area
  with the
  keyword "ibm.wcm.TextProvider" which will be exposed as a text
  provider for use to set item titles or descriptions, or by
  using the [Plugin:TextProvider] tag.
