Localization Overview

Since Sitebuilder is a web application, a single instance may simultaneously target an international, multi-language audience, which implies the opportunity for users to change the language of the program interface to whichever one they need. By default, Sitebuilder is shipped with only U.S. English localization, but SWsoft also releases eight more language packs, which are:

• German (de-DE)
• French (fr-FR)
• Spanish (es-ES)
• Italian (it-IT)
• Russian (ru-RU)
• Japanese (ja-JP)
• Simplified Chinese (zh-CN)
• Traditional Chinese (zh-TW)

These language packs are available for downloading at the SWsoft Web site.

To provide those interested with the opportunity to have Sitebuilder language packs not mentioned in the list above, Sitebuilder 3.0 for Unix Localization Kit was designed. Using this kit, you can easily create your own language packs (LPs) and install them in Sitebuilder. Sitebuilder Localization Kit contains two utilities:

• get_current_locale.sh, which extracts the LP source file from a Sitebuilder instance
• sb_make_locale_package.sh, which compiles the LP source file into an installable Sitebuilder language pack
