Set dwilanguage for portlet title

In this example, I use Bahasa (Malay language) and English.

To set value for each language, we can customize the value in Look and Feel part.
Step 1: Click icon Look and Feel in the portlet header.


Step 2: Click tab Portlet Configuration, check box Use Cutom Title. Then define portlet title to appropriate language.


Step 3: Save.

Then results shown below.
a) Bahasa (Malay language)


b) English.

Customise language in Liferay Portal.

This documentation done based on Liferay 5.2.3, tomcat-6.0.18.

In our portal, we need to use two languages. Malay as Primary and English secondary language.
To localise the language, we configured in portal-ext.properties.
The properties for language is set as shown below.

#limit the language selection.
locales=en_US,ms_MY

Since Malaysia flag icon not available, we need to add the 16 x 11 icon image in
~/tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/portal-theme/images/language
manually.

It means that when we use language portlet, only two flags will appear in the porlet. We also can put the flag icon in portal theme.
Just use $theme.language() to be wrote in our template [by writing it in portal_normal.vm].

Output:
