Grails: internationalization in the service

Today I spent some time by creation of localized messages in a service. Here is a small tutorial.

1. Create your service

grails create-service Local

2. Add a messageSource variable to your new service

class LocalService {
  def messageSource
}

3. Use it in a service method

// Initialize parameters
Object[] testArgs = {}
def msg = messageSource.resolveCode("message.code.to.translate", new java.util.Locale("EN")).format(testArgs)

4. Finally edit the grails-app/i18n/messages.properties

message.code.to.translate=It works!!!

   Hi Roman,

   is it necessary to add the code to resources.groovy? Shouldn’t the messageSource automatically be injected into the service by name?

   cheers
