Overview

An eGov core application which provides locale-specific components and translating text for the eGov group of applications.

Pre-requisites

  4. Prior knowledge of Redis and postgres.

Key Functionalities

The localization application stores the locale data in the format of key and value along with the module, tenantid and locale. Module defines which application of eGov owns the locale data and tenantId does the same for the tenant, locale is the specific locale for which data is being added.  

 

The request can be posted through the post API with the above mentioned variables in the request body.

 

Once posted the same data can be searched based on the module, locale and tenantId as keys.

 

The Data posted to localization service will be permanently stored in the database and will be loaded in to redis cache for easy access and every time new data is added in to the application the redis cache will be refreshed.

Deployment Details

  1. Deploy the latest version of Localization Service.

  2. Add Role-Action mapping for API’s.
