We are proud to announce that the next major release of in-page localization engine is now widely available in module repository within Custom Messages Module distribution package. It brings such new features as other modules support, enhanced customizations export functionality, improved UI concept and others. This version of module is compatible with each maintenance release of OpenMRS starting from 1.6 line inclusive. Source code of this version is available from OpenMRS GitHub repository within branch called v1.3. At the moment, we're supporting Google Chrome 19+, Safari 5+ and Firefox 11+ (but it has an issue with setting cursor position within in-line input for links and buttons). We are happy to invite you to our own OpenMRS demo site for custommessages module, where you can try out new features provided with this release (user name - tester, password - P@ssw0rd). We encourage all of you to provide feedback, received after using this module, to dev@openmrs.org. |

This module provides the ability to customize text messages within OpenMRS web pages (for both, module and core) and persist them within the database and can be used to translate OpenMRS directly within the web application. Also, this module provides an export feature that allows you to choose from the list of available locales and sources and export all existing messages (both those that came from the properties files and/or those customized by the module) in the form of a messages_xxx.properties that can be used to provide translations for the OpenMRS web application or for other modules.
Within this module the original messages.properties files are retained as the primary message source. The messages stored in the custommessage module tables can override these values. So, only customizations made by an implementation are stored in the custommessage tables. This means that if core or module message.properties files are updated (e.g., during an upgrade), the customizations will be maintained. It is easy to see exactly what has been changed and what is standard.

<openmrs:message code="your.code" locale="fr">Message text goes here</openmrs:message> |
the rest will be done by smart tag. As you can see, it allows text to be specified in the body of the element instead of the text attribute (so you can even forget about escaping, the tag will take care of it). And also it allows for locale attribute to define locale of text (so tags can define text for non-en locales).
Converting all occurrences of spring:message to openmrs:message
In order to be able to supply your JSPs with more agile messaging approach then spring's one, you may want to convert all occurrences of spring:message tag to openmrs:message. Worth to say, that this is key point if you want to provide in-line translation capabilities for your pages. To do this conversion under Unix machine you need to use replace_tags.sh script from the command like like follows:
| Code Block |
|---|
./replace_tags.sh /path/pointing/to/your/module/jsps/ |
Also, we will be working on providing OS-independent solution for tags conversion.
