strings.js not updating

[rdelong]

I updated the localized strings file for spanish (strings-es-es.xml) and uploaded to our CMS, and created the WebHelp output, but the strings.js file still contains the old values.

How do I get the strings.js file updated?

What CMS application do you use? Do you have a WebHelp plugin installed in your CMS? Did you install it or it came already installed by the CMS installation kit?

What is the location of the strings-es-es.xml file in the DITA-OT directory in the CMS? The correct location for the XML localization files is DITA-OT-DIR\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\localization.

Does the DITA map set the language with the xml:lang="es-es" attribute?

In what output directory are the WebHelp pages generated by the WebHelp conversion executed by the CMS?

Astoria

Do you have a WebHelp plugin installed in your CMS?

Yes, we have a registered/licensed version of WebHelp Plugin installed on the CMS

Did you install it or it came already installed by the CMS installation kit?

Astoria administrator installed it.

What is the location of the strings-es-es.xml file in the DITA-OT directory in the CMS? The correct location for the XML localization files is DITA-OT-DIR\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\localization.

This is the location for the strings-es-es.xml

Does the DITA map set the language with the xml:lang="es-es" attribute?

The bookmap is set to @xml:lang="es"

In what output directory are the WebHelp pages generated by the WebHelp conversion executed by the CMS?

D:\DITA_OUTPUT\temp\DITA-OT\temp332992-results (temp332992 varies by output job)

The bookmap is set to @xml:lang="es"

If the bookmap sets the language to @xml:lang="es" then the localization file must be named strings-es.xml. If the bookmap sets the language to @xml:lang="es-es" then the localization file must be named strings-es-es.xml.

The information that you mention is controlled by the strings.xml file. Here's an excerpt from that file:
<langlist>
...
<lang xml:lang="es" filename="strings-es-es.xml"/>

So, now what?

You still haven't addressed the question of my OP: how is the strings.js created? I still can't figure out why changes that I make to the strings-es-es.xml are not making it into this js file.

Any label that is added to an XML localization file and has the js="true" attribute, for example:

Code: Select all

 <str name="label.key">Label Text Here</str>

will be added to the strings.js file. The js="true" attribute is added by default if the label does not have a js attribute, so you just need an element as above in your strings-es-es.xml, which acts as if it had the attribute by default:

Code: Select all

 <str name="label.key" js="true">Label Text Here</str>

Please check that you are generating the WebHelp pages in the output directory where you expect the strings.js file to be updated with the labels that you modified/added.

If you are looking at the latest WebHelp pages generated by the Oxygen WebHelp transformation but the latest changes in strings-es-es.xml are not transferred to the latest strings.js file please send us a set of DITA XML files for reproducing the problem.
