How can I add custom text in i18n properties? Can I add like jive.i18n.addMsgs()?If so in which file I need to add? Please provide some sample code.

You add it to the jive_custom_i18n_en.properties files.. it doesn't require any special code.

  Hi Matt,
  
  Thanks for the reply. But unfortunately I don't have access to source code. Is there any other way to do this using admin console or UI?
  
  Thanks,
  Sudha

    There's a commercial plugin that can do them; i18n Plugin - easy translations and customization of the Jive UI

      And Pokeshot///SMZ the developers of the plugin, also available from Jive, really understand multilingual ops. In Jive. We used on a client site last year. I'd use the Awesome word, at the risk of upsetting Matt

It's worth noting that this solution is only viable for on-premise and hosted environments, and not for cloud. If you are using on-premise or hosted, then this is an appropriate solution. =)

  Stephan Mueller-Ziebur would it help to get a measure of the number of current and potential users of the i18n Editor who are either on Cloud already, or who would be more likely to move to Cloud, if taking this facility to Cloud came to anything. Just wonder if the size of the market is known and whether that might hasten a development?

    John, we are dependent on Jive to support our technology in Jive Cloud. We've had to turn away a sizeable number of customers due to this in the last 2 quarters.
    We've proposed this to Jive Product Management on several occasions, but haven't heard back on this.

    Many thanks Matt and John for the recomendations
    
    I guess jive's overall strategy is to move customers to the cloud and I think the market is huge....
    
    We had a BIG run on our products such as i18n-manager, RTL, auto-translate, multi-doc etc at JW14 and the demand to build international communities (internal and external ones) will grow in the long run.
    
    To bring internationalization to the cloud basically depends on jive. Either Jive will open cloud for customisations or they will integrate our products to the core platform (buying the IP or licensing).
    
    We are open for dicussions
    
    Any other thoughts?
    
    Cheers Stephan

      We'd need to have cloud opened up to allow for customisation before we'd seriously look at moving to it.. we need to be able to alter the site to make enhancements that benefit our users, and no matter how good Jive are at implementing our suggestions, they'll not be able to alter the core product to suit every business need.

        I second this, as we are going through struggles even to provide a localized experience for our customers, even in Hosted.

      Possibly create one or more ideas in Jive Platform so that users can vote to 'scope' the demand?
