Locale Components

We distinguish the following components in a Plesk locale, each defined by a particular file or set of files within a language pack:

  1. Interface Messages:
    1. Graphical User Interface (GUI) Messages
      Defined in common_messages.php and messages.php

      Include the following:

      • All textual elements of graphical user interface (except for the contextual help tips), namely, names of the buttons, icons, links, checkboxes, lists, options, list items, and so on
      • All alert, warning, error, progress and operation-result messages
    2. Contextual Help
      Defined in conhelp.php

      A set of context-dependent tips shown next to a GUI element (button, icon, list heading, etc.) when mouse pointer is placed over the element. Contextual help tips contain short explanation of what the element is.

    3. Command Line Interface (CLI) Messages, or CL Utilities Help
      Defined in cli_messages.php

      A set of messages explaining purpose of each command and option of the Plesk command line utilities. For more details on command line utilities, refer to the Command Line Reference (Windows) document located at the Parallels Plesk Panel Developer Library on Parallels Technology Network.

  2. Online Help
