Add new localized texts to the Confluence UI
Hi,
we're using Confluence as a Knowledge Base in combination with Jira ServiceDesk. This of course leads to a very limited functionality set and navigation abilities for unlicensed/read-only users in the Knowlede Base space.
We therefore decided to customize the notpermitted.vm template to explain why the users get redirected to that "Forbidden" page so often. So far so good.
Now my question - How can I add some new texts to this vm template and then translate them into German? I understand that all UI messages from Confluence are saved in a .properties file and I've already added the new English texts to that .properties file ( confluence-<version>.jar/com/atlassian/confluence/core/ConfluenceActionSupport.properties) and they are displayed fine in the "Forbidden" page. But how can I add these new texts in German? I haven't found any .properties files with _de_DE language identifier anywhere on the Confluence server and I don't understand where the default German translations of the UI are stored on the server. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
I've already checked the following resources and tried to follow instructions there:
- https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/modify-confluence-interface-text-197745.html
- https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-edit-files-in-confluence-jar-files-103711179.html
- https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/translating-confluenceactionsupport-content/
- https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/creating-a-new-confluence-translation/
but I'm not sure a "language pack" is really what we want here, as it's only a few additional texts that should be newly translated. The existing German translation of Confluence is fine.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers, Birgit
For context, this is what the customized notpermitted.vm template looks like "live" right now:
