  • Method Details

    • getRawText

      String getRawText(String key)
      Retrieve the unformatted message text associated with this key.
      Parameters:
      key - key for the i18ned message
      Returns:
      the unformatted message text if key is found, otherwise returns key itself.
    • getRawText

      String getRawText(Locale locale, String key)
      Retrieve the unformatted message text associated with this key.
      Parameters:
      locale - the locale to use for the i18ned text
      key - key for the i18ned message
      Returns:
      the unformatted message text if key is found, otherwise returns key itself.
    • getText

      String getText(String key, Serializable... arguments)
      Given a key and a list of arguments:
      1. this method returns the i18ned text formatted with the arguments if the key can be resolved.
      2. otherwise, the key itself will be returned (after formatting).
      Arguments may also be of the form Message which means they will be resolved as well before being included as an argument. Uses the default locale.
      Parameters:
      key - key for the i18ned message
      arguments - Optional list of arguments for the message.
      Returns:
      I18ned string

      2. otherwise, the key itself will be returned (after formatting).
      Arguments may also be of the form Message which means they will be resolved as well before being included as an argument.
      Parameters:
      locale - the locale to use for the i18ned text
      key - key for the i18ned message
      arguments - Optional list of arguments for the message.
      Returns:
      I18ned string

    • getText

      String getText(String key)
      Does the same as getText(String, java.io.Serializable...) however it is needed for velocity.
      Parameters:
      key - key for the i18ned message
      Returns:
      I18ned string
    • getText

      String getText(Locale locale, String key)
      Does the same as getText(Locale, String, java.io.Serializable...) however it is needed for velocity.
      Parameters:
      locale - the locale to use for the i18ned text
      key - key for the i18ned message
      Returns:
      I18ned string
      Since:
      2.10
    • getText

      String getText(Message message)
      Given a Message this method:
      1. returns the i18ned text formatted with the message arguments if the message key can be resolved.
      2. Otherwise, returns the message key (formatted with the message arguments).
      Uses the default locale.
      Parameters:
      message - The message to i18n
      Returns:
      I18ned string
    • getText

      String getText(Locale locale, Message message)
      Given a Message this method:
      1. returns the i18ned text formatted with the message arguments if the message key can be resolved.
      2. Otherwise, returns the message key (formatted with the message arguments).
      Parameters:
      locale - the locale to use for the i18ned text
      message - The message to i18n
      Returns:
      I18ned string

    • createMessage

      Message createMessage(String key, Serializable... arguments)
      Creates an instance of Message.
      Parameters:
      key - The message key
      arguments - The arguments to interpolate
      Returns:
      The message
    • createMessageCollection

      MessageCollection createMessageCollection()
      Returns:
      an instance of MessageCollection.
    • getAllTranslationsForPrefix

      Map<String,String> getAllTranslationsForPrefix(String prefix)
      Given a prefix, this method will return all translations where the key starts with the given prefix as key to value mappings, using the default locale.

      Plugin developers should avoid calling this method where possible, as it cannot guarantee as good performance as the other exact key-oriented methods in this interface.

      Parameters:
      prefix - The prefix for a particular key to start with. Empty string will match everything, which may be slow. Throws NullPointerException if null.
      Returns:
      A Map of i18nKey to translation mappings where i18nKey starts with the prefix. Empty map if no matches.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if link is null
