Difference between jcr:primaryType being nt:folder Vs jcr:primaryType being sling:MessageEntry while creating i18n keys

While creating i18n keys, I see that for some i18n keys the value of jcr:primaryType is nt:folder  whereas for rest of them, the value of  jcr:primaryType is sling:MessageEntry. 
Why is this difference ? And will this have any impact ?

Hi @shibani06 

  If jcr:mixingType is set as sling:message then It does not matter if type is nt:folder or sling:messageEntry. In both scenario you will get correct result.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @shibani06 ,

 

If you see the Apache documentation then you will find that for

 

language folder - example en, de, fr, etc

 

  • jcr:primaryType = nt:folder
  • jcr:mixinTpes = mix:language

 

And for each messages (for which you want to put language specific value)

  • jcr:primaryType = sling:MessageEntry 
  • sling:key
  • sling:message.

    Hi @ritesh_mittal ,

     

    But in my case, some of the i18n keys are having this property

    • jcr:primaryType = nt:folder

      If you are talking about product i18n nodes, can you give the exact path?

       

      A sling:messageEntry nodetype has the mixinType "sling:message" (which requires a node to have the properties "sling:key" and "sling:message").

      And you can choose any other nodetype and add the mixinType "sling:message" to achieve the very same behavior.

          Oh so it doesn't really matter. Thanks @dipti_chauhan .
