Tour step titles

[claudiobosticco]

Hello, I'm trying the Tour module and I've noticed that the step titles aren't internationalized.

Also, I'm getting this WARN:

2024-05-14T16:40:47,445 WARN Validation Validation errors validating a 'Tour':
{
    "/Tour[@ID=profileMenuTour]/steps/3/TourStep":{
        recordPath:"/Tour[@ID=profileMenuTour]/steps/3/TourStep",
        actionType:{
            severity:"ERROR",
            errorMessage:"Must be in set [click, doubleClick, mouseOver, drag, change, none, any] but is menuItemOpen."
        }
    }
}

but the actionType seems to work

Another question about the Tour/Process: is it possible to internationalize it? I mean with an approach similar to that used for DataSources expressed in XML.

hi Claudio,

We've added around 40 new framework i18n attributes for all hard-coded strings in the Tour subsystem, and you'll find them already in the language packs with AI translations as of tomorrow's builds, dated May 29 and later.

Another 60 or so i18n attributes unrelated to Tours were picked up and translated at the same time, including the max grouping messages you mentioned in another thread.

We're taking a look at the warning you see and will update here shortly.

Thank you very much.
Actually in post #3 I meant also to ask if it's possible to internationalize what I write in the <instructions> tags and in the title attributes in my tour.proc.xml file, as I tried an approach similar to that used for dataSources but it didn't work

I also noted a new feature to record Tours/Tutorials...The years pass by but your work continues to amaze me :)

Hey Claudio, just wanted to say - thanks for that feedback! That really makes the team feel good, and it's part of what motivates us to produce great stuff.

Just wait til you see the next level of what we have in store! We think you'll love it!

Can you tell me where I can find the feature to record tours?

Hello, just bumping this up to know if I should actually make a version of my tutorial for each locale or if I'm missing some other option.

claudiobosticco sorry we missed that question. If the Tour is defined in XML, you should be able to use the same i18n mechanisms that apply to DataSource .ds.xml files and screens (.ui.xml files).

If you instead define them in JavaScript, then you use the usual client-side approaches.

MQDeveloper - we have a prototype of a Tour-recording system. If you are interested in Feature Sponsorship to make it an officially supported feature, start here!

Hello, I've actually tried like this:

<Tour ID="firstTour" showProgress="true" xmlns:fmt="WEB-INF/">
    <fmt:bundle basename="i18nMessages" encoding="utf-8"/>
    <steps>
        <TourStep ID="welcome">
            <title><fmt:message key="welcome"/></title>
....

and then I've tried to load it like this (as I don't think it could work with Tour.loadTour()):

<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8">
    <isomorphic:XML>
    <jsp:include page="/WEB-INF/ds/profileMenuTour.proc.xml"/>
    <jsp:include page="/WEB-INF/ds/aSampleDS.ds.xml"/>
    </isomorphic:XML>

and, while I see the same key correctly used in the js version of the ds, in the js version of the Tour I see the <fmt> tag in the title. Am I missing something?

If you instead define them in JavaScript, then you use the usual client-side approaches.

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually hadn't thought of that, but it will definitely work. However, does this have any implications on the features, or is it fully equivalent?

Hello, could you please comment on this?

Hi Claudio
We see the problem, and our development team are working on it. We'll be following up when we have more information for you

Hi Claudio
Sorry for the long pause on this.
We've made a change to have the server pick up the appropriate messages from the resource bundle file and substitute them in for tour *.proc.xml files.
Please try the next nightly build (Nov 27 or above) in the 13.1 / 14.0 branch to see this in action.

Let us know if it doesn't work for you

Hello, it doesn't seem to work for me, I still see the <fmt> tags in the js-translated Tour.

If you instead define them in JavaScript, then you use the usual client-side approaches.
