localising series 40 web apps
DESCRIPTION
Consumers want content and apps that are relevant to their lives, and they have plenty of suitable choices when they browse Nokia Store. If your app is presented in a language in which they’re not skilled, they’re likely to tire of it soon or they may not download it at all. The Nokia Web Tools suite makes it easy for you to localise your web app to increase downloads and engagement and to improve user experience. In this webinar, Series 40 web tools expert Naresh Kumar will demonstrate how easy it is to localise Series 40 web apps for multiple languages and regions. We suggest that you install Nokia Web Tools before attending the webinar. You’ll be able to understand the training without using the software, but you’ll learn more overall by starting to practise with Nokia Web Tools right after the session.TRANSCRIPT

Localisation : How to create ?
Series 40 web apps support localisation in compliance with the W3C widget specification. Localisation support is folder based. Create a directory called “locales” inside widget’s root directory. Create locale specific folders inside “locales” folder, with locale names. For ex: en, fr, de, zh-CN, zh-TW Include different resources that are appropriate for the locales.
Localisation : What can be localised ?
Resources that can be localised:
Widget start file Java Script resources Cascaded Style Sheet (CSS) resources
Localisation : How to test ?
Localised apps can be simulated using Web App Simulator(WAS) in Nokia Web Tools.
WAS currently supports four languages for localisation: English Chinese Russian Indonesian
