A Community translation tool for Bonita BPM is available. Currently, only languages with a very high rate of translation completion are integrated in the product itself. It was the case recently with Russian.

There is a (relatively) easy way to integrate alternative languages for Bonita BPM Portal, downloaded from the Crowdin instance as described on this documentation page.

For the studio side, there was previously no way to do this. But that was then, this is now.

Here's a solution! There is still some manual work to do on our side and your side, but if you leave a lot of enthusiastic comments on this blog post, it might become easier for everyone in a future release.

To install a new language:

  • Download Eclipse (the package that you want) and unzip it
  • Go to the root folder in a prompt of the Eclipse installation
  • Ensure Bonita BPM Studio is not running
  • Launch the Eclipse executable with the following arguments, to replace the placeholder between < >:
eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://update-site.bonitasoft.com/language-packs/6.5.x/Community/<NL> -installIU org.bonitasoft.studio.translations.<NL> -tag "Install Language Pack for <Your Language> -destination <BonitaInstallationRootPath>

is the folder containing all Bonita BPM Studio executables and plugins folder.

For example, for Polish:

eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://update-site.bonitasoft.com/language-packs/6.5.x/Community/pl -installIU org.bonitasoft.studio.translations.pl -tag "Install Language Pack for Polish" -destination C:/BonitaBPMCommunity-6.5.2
  • if the language is also translated on Eclipse Babel, you should also install the Eclipse specific translations:
eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/update-site/R0.12.1/luna -installIU org.eclipse.babel.nls_eclipse_pl.feature.group -tag "Install Eclipse babel Language Pack for Polish" -destination C:/BonitaBPMCommunity-6.5.2
  • Restart your Bonita BPM Studio and go to Preferences -> Languages to choose the language that you installed. It will be listed in the studio languages.

dropdownShowingLanguages

  • Restart again and enjoy using Bonita BPM Studio in your preferred language:

Poland Netherlands Greece Vietnam Chinese

studioInPolish

Please note that this action is done at your own risk. For instance, if a copy of file or a download went wrong, it can corrupt your studio installation. I highly recommend you do a backup of your environment before starting.
