Method Detail

flattenMap

public static com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap<String,String> flattenMap(Map<String,Map<String,String>> i18nMap,
                                                                               String propertyPrefix,
                                                                               String propertySeparator)

Flattens an i18n map to a map with a key based on the keys of the nested maps and a value of the defined property. For example we have a nested i18n map as following: { "de": { "name":"Name", "description","Beschreibung" }, "en": { "name":"name", "description","description" } } The resulting map looks like this (given that the property prefix is 'i18n' and the property separator is '.'): { "i18n.de.name:"Name", "i18n.de.description:"Beschreibung", "i18n.en.name:"Name", "i18n.en.description:"description" }

Parameters:

i18nMap - the i18n map to flatten

propertyPrefix - the prefix which is added before each key in the new map

propertySeparator - the separator which is added between the map keys

Returns:

the flattened map

localize

public static <T extends Localizable<T>> com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList<T> localize(Collection<T> localizableCollection,
                                                                                             org.springframework.context.MessageSource messageSource,
                                                                                             Locale locale)

Localizes a list of localizable classes and returns the localized versions of the specified instances.

Type Parameters:

T - the localizable class which implements the Localizable interface

Parameters:

localizableCollection - the instances which needs to be localized

messageSource - the message source which translates the i18n codes for the localization

locale - the specified locale to which the i18n codes are translated

Returns:

a list of the localized version of the specified instances

extractLanguageCode

public static String extractLanguageCode(String languageString,
                                         String defaultLanguageCode)

Extracts the two letter language code defined in ISO 639 from a specified string. The following formats are supported: <ul> <li>en-US,en;;q=0.5 -> HTTP header Accept Language</li> <li>en-US -> two letter language code with locale</li> <li>en -> two letter language code</li> </ul>

Parameters:

languageString - the string to get the two letter language code

defaultLanguageCode - the default code which is returned if the languageString is null

Returns:

the two letter language code defined in ISO 639
