How to localize operator labels on af:query

Question

Hi,
I have localized af:query component by using skin resource bundle. I still need to change labels for operators. On af:query there are select one choice components that can be used for operator selection. Labels for operators are: "Not equal to","Starts with", "Ends with",... These can not be customised through skin boundle. I think that these labels are defined in class oracle.jbo.CSMessageBoundle.java and they are localized in more then twenty languages but not in the one I need. I tried to create custom MessageBundle for my model project with keys I found in CSMessageBundle. It did not work.
Does anyone knows how to solve this.
Thanks!!!

Hi Gorane,
you have to create and apply new custom skin for your application. Register new resource bundle for that new skin and in that resource bundle you redefine labels for ui components.
For creating custom skin look at: "Web User Interface Developer’s Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework" chapter: "20 Customizing the Appearance Using Styles and Skins".
To find out what keys you need to override check out these link:
Re: Keys in ResourceBundle
Here is my resource bundle class with keys for query:
package com.mycomp.myapp.resources;
import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
public class MyAppSkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
    public MyAppSkinBundle() {
        super();
    public Object[][] getContents()
        return contents;       
    static final Object[][] contents = {

}You can see that I had to use UTF codes for serbian letters.
//š \u0161
//Š \u0160
//č \u010D
//Č \u010C
//ć \u0107
//Ć \u0106
//ž \u017E
//Ž \u017D
//đ \u0111
//Đ \u0110
I will be glad to answer on any other question!!!
