How to localize or customize Redmine Markdown alert headings

Since Redmine 6.1, Markdown alert can be displayed when the text formatting is set to "CommonMark Markdown."

By including alert type identifiers such as [!NOTE], [!TIP], [!WARNING], [!CAUTION], or [!IMPORTANT] within a blockquote, that line becomes a heading and is displayed in the following styles:

> [!NOTE]
> Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content.

> [!TIP]
> Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.

> [!WARNING]
> Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.

> [!CAUTION]
> Advises about risks or negative outcomes of certain actions.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Key information users need to know to achieve their goal.

The heading strings -"Note," "Tip," "Warning," "Caution," and "Important"- can be automatically switched based on the display language or customized to show any text you prefer.

Switching heading text by language

Starting from Redmine 6.1.1, alert headings can be localized. When using the following languages, the headings will be translated and displayed accordingly:

• Japanese
• German
• French
• Italian
• Chinese (Traditional, zh-TW)
• Bulgarian
• Russian
• Persian

The language can be changed in each user's "My account" settings. When switched to one of the above languages, the headings will be replaced automatically. The screenshot below shows an example when the language is set to Japanese.

Displaying custom text in headings

By using the format [Identifier] Your Text (with a space between the identifier and the text), you can display any string as the heading.

> [!WARNING]
> Default display

> [!WARNING] Strong Warning
> Displaying a custom heading string

Please note that if you specify a custom string, that heading will not be subject to automatic language switching (the text you wrote will be displayed regardless of the user's language setting).
