Groovy app internationalization and localization

Apache Groovy is a Java-syntax-compatible object-oriented programming language for the Java platform. It is both a static and dynamic language with features similar to those of Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. It can be used as both a programming language and a scripting language for the Java Platform, is compiled to Java virtual machine (JVM) bytecode, and interoperates seamlessly with other Java code and libraries.

🔗Best way to localize Groovy apps

The first step is to extract the text to translate into language files. This process is called internationalization. The built-in libraries can be used to extract out the text to translate into Java Properties or Java XML files.

Once you have internationalized your Groovy app, use a translation software localization tool such as WebTranslateIt to manage your localization workflow.

It is easy to translate a Groovy app with WebTranslateIt. Create a project, upload your source language file in the File Manager and translate it on the Translation Interface.

The tools included in WebTranslateIt, such as Batch Operations, the Translation Memory or Machine Translation can help you translate that file automatically, faster and cost effectively.
