Property Editors. Page developers use this component to provide specialized user interfaces for editing internationalization-specific portlet preferences on the Portlet Properties page. This component is a collection of custom editors that other portlets can reuse.
The following table lists the collection of legacy property editors provided with the I18N Property Editors Component.
Legacy Property Editor
Description
Country/Region ID Chooser
Provides a drop-down list from which an end user can select a country or region (for example, "Argentina" or "Antarctica").
Locale Chooser
Provides a drop-down list from which an end user can select a locale (for example, "es-AR Spanish (Argentina)" or "en-US English (United States)").
Time Zone Chooser
Provides a drop-down list from which an end user can select a time zone (for example, "America/Argentina/Buenos Aries (Argentine Time)" or "America/Chicago (Central Standard Time)").
Page developers configure this component to add a drop-down list for one of the internationalization properties. For example, to provide an editor for the Country/Region ID, the page developer configures the component to use the type Country/Region ID Chooser. As a result, the view will contain a drop-down list that contains values a user can select for the Country/Region ID property.
