Preface
About This Guide
This document is a guide to translating Plesk Expand interface and online help to languages other than those released by Parallels.
Section Localization Overview (on page 6) gives an idea of localizing a software product, explains such terms used in the document as locale and language pack, focuses on the localization capabilities of Plesk Expand, and describes Plesk Expand locale components and Plesk Expand language pack structure in detail.
Section Creating LP (on page 9) provides guidelines, instructions and recommendations on creating a Plesk Expand language pack.
Section Installing LP (on page 16) describes how to install Plesk Expand language packs. The Appendix A (on page 17) contains full description of the locale-maker tool that is used
for compiling language packs, and a list of the tool advanced options. The Appindix B (on page 18) lists names of the locales supported by Plesk Expand.
Who Should Read This Guide
This guide is intended for those willing to create custom language packs, i.e., to translate Plesk Expand interface and online help to languages other than officially supported by Parallels.

6 Localization Overview
Since Plesk Expand is a web application, a single instance may simultaneously target an
Localization Overview
international, multi-language audience owing to the possibility of localization. Localization means a process of adapting software for a particular country or region, which is, generally speaking, translating Plesk Expand user’s environment to a language spoken in the country or region.
A subset of Plesk Expand user’s environment adjusted to a particular language and culture is called locale. On the implementation level, a particular locale is represented by the corresponding language pack (LP). Language pack is an installable file containing all the resource files and processing instructions necessary for installing a particular locale to an existing Plesk Expand instance. In other words, LP is a packed set of files containing all the language-related data that define the appearance of a particular user environment component. For details on creating and installing language packs, refer to the Creating LP (on page 9) and Installing LP (on page 16) sections.
Plesk Expand locale and language pack names follow the RFC 1766 standard in the format “<languagecode2>-<country/regioncode2>”, where <languagecode2> is a lower-case two- letter code derived from ISO 639-1 and <country/regioncode2> is an upper-case two-letter code derived from ISO 3166. For example, U.S. English locale is named “en-US”. To see a list of locale names supported by Plesk Expand, refer to the Appendix B. Locale Codes (on page
18). By default, Plesk Expand is shipped with only U.S. English language pack. Parallels also
releases LPs for 7additional languages, which are:
German (de-DE) French (fr-FR) Spanish (es-ES) Russian (ru-RU) Japanese (ja-JP) Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) Traditional Chinese (zh-TW)
These additional language packs are available at the Language Support (http://www.parallels.com/en/products/plesk/expand/lp/) page of the Parallels official web site.
This Plesk Expand Localization Kit is designed to allow third-party developers to create their own localizations for Plesk Expand.
The developers are free to share their translation with other Plesk Expand users. Also they can contribute the translation to Parallels, where it will be repacked to the standard Plesk Expand language pack form and then published on the Parallels official web site.

Locale Components
We distinguish the following three components in Plesk Expand locale:
Interface Messages. Include the following:
All textual elements of graphical user interface (except for the contextual help tips),
namely, names of the buttons, icons, links, checkboxes, lists, options, list items, and so on
All alert, warning, error, progress and operation-result messages
Contextual Help. A set of context-dependent tips shown at the bottom of navigation pane.
Contextual help messages say in brief either what the current Plesk Expand page is designed for, or, if a mouse pointer is placed over a GUI control (button, icon, list heading, etc.), what the meaning of the control is.
Online Help. A Plesk Expand user’s guide which opens upon clicking Help in navigation
pane and displays the content relevant to the current Plesk Expand page.
The locale components are defined by a particular file or set of files within a language pack.
Language Pack Content
All LP source files and folder are specifically structured within a particular directory. This directory is used by Plesk Expand locale-maker utility for compiling LP.
LP source files and folder are structured as shown below.
