Translations

Spring boot application for adding i18n support to portlets and soffits using i18next

Overview

This application makes heavy use of the factory pattern. This makes it easy to add new portlets/soffits to the translation service. To add a new portlet/soffit, first make a new model that extends Transalations that has all of the translation information. For anything that is shared across all portlets/soffits it can be added to Transalations.java. Then to make a translation service, implement the ITranslationsService interface and have a @Component("portlet_name") annotation on the class.

Caching

When creating a new @Component that component's name needs to be appended to the application.properties file with the rest of the cac he names. The Cacheable annotation should follow the following format @Cacheable(value = "portlet_name", key = "{ #root.methodName, #languageCode }")

To view the translations go to /api/v1/locales/{porlet_name}/{lng}/{ns}. If no portlet/soffit name is found, it will return a 404.
