Create Page Designer Localization Resource Bundles

A resource bundle contains the localized names and descriptions for each page type, component type, and component type group that you want to localize. Including a resource bundle is optional. If you don’t provide them, the visual editor uses information in the meta definition files.

Each page type, component type group, and component type requires a separate resource bundle.

Name the resource bundle files using this pattern:

<componenttype/pagetype/componenttypegroup> _<locale>.properties

Put the resource bundles for page types and component types in this location in the cartridge:

<your_cartridge>/cartridge/templates/resources/experience/pages

<your_cartridge>/cartridge/templates/resources/experience/components

Put resource bundles for component type groups within a componentgroup subdirectory: <your_cartridge>/cartridge/templates/resources/experience/componentgroups

If the page type and component type files are located in a subdirectory of the ../experience/pages or ../experience/components directories, the resource bundles must be located in a corresponding subdirectory of the resources directory.
