Description

Allow the localization of feature parameters. This allows us to provide parameters that can be localized when the gadget definition is processed. In the example below, _MSG_mytest_ will get replaced with "Search" from the bundle. The localized XML inside the CDATA can then be consumed by the container.

Sample gadget definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Hello" description="Message ">
<Locale messages="messages.xml"/>

<Require feature="dynamic-height" />
<Require feature="setprefs" />
<Optional feature="opensearch">
<Param name="opensearch-description"><![CDATA[<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>_MSG_mytest_</ShortName>
<Description>Realtime Twitter Search</Description>
<Url type="application/atom+xml" method="get" template="http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=

{searchTerms}

"/>
<Image width="16" height="16">http://search.twitter.com/favicon.png</Image>
<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
<SearchForm>http://search.twitter.com/</SearchForm>

</OpenSearchDescription>]]></Param>
</Optional>

</ModulePrefs>

<Content type="url" href="http://www.example.com/search/index.html" />
</Module>

Sample message bundle:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<messagebundle>
<msg name="mytest">
Search
</msg>
</messagebundle>
