Message Catalog Format

In the WPMessages.properties file, entries are defined in the format KeyName=MessageText. In a customized message catalog, each entry is specified in a separate Msg element. The KeyName is specified in the id attribute, while the MessageText is text between the <Msg> and </Msg> tags. The following example illustrates a message catalog entry:

<Msg id=’UI_REMEMBER_PASSWORD’>Remember to set your password.</Msg>

The message text can contain HTML tags to control how the text is rendered, although this is not recommended. If you need to use HTML tags, use codes such as &lt; and &gt; instead symbols such as < and >.

Message text can also contain variables for data that Waveset will insert into the string when the string is displayed. The following example is the default message for the AR_CORRELATED_USER key:

Correlated account with user {0}.

The rendered version could appear as

Correlated account with user jdoe.
