Liferay 7.4 introduces the ability to manage language translations directly within client extensions. This enhancement allows developers to provide multilingual support for custom labels and properties without relying solely on OSGi bundles.

Key benefits: 

• Developers can now define and manage language keys and translations within the client extension itself, ensuring that all labels and custom properties are displayed correctly across different languages.

• This feature eliminates the issue of untranslated labels with dashes, providing a consistent and professional appearance on multilingual sites.

• Simplifies the process of adding translations, reducing the need for manual intervention and external OSGi bundles, thus accelerating the development and deployment of multilingual features.

• Empowers developers to create more flexible and fully localized custom elements and themes, enhancing the overall versatility of the Liferay platform.

The addition of new translations and locales ensures that users in regions like Macedonia, Norway, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria can interact with the platform in their preferred language or regional variation.

Key benefits:

• Tailors the user experience for specific markets and regions, improving relevance and usability.

• We made the platform more inclusive by expanding language and locale options.
