Framework Translations

The Jmix framework subsystems come with messages.properties files containing messages in English. It means that even if you set a different locale in your project and translate your own message files, your users will still see parts of the UI in English because they are implemented in the framework. This includes standard actions and data management components like filter and tables, as well as the entire UI screens of the security and other subsystems.

We provide translations of the framework messages to some languages in the form of translation modules. A translation module is a set of message files packed together in a JAR that can be added to your project as a dependency. You can find the translation modules created by the Jmix team and community members on the Jmix marketplace: open Jmix tool window → Settings → Marketplace in Studio or go to the marketplace website and filter by the Localization tag.

If you need to translate the framework messages to a different language, you can do it right in your project. Below is a recommended way to do it:
