Felix Knecht commented on DIRSTUDIO-397:
----------------------------------------
Some hopefully usefull hints:
- 'Normall' only the content from plugin.properties/messages.properties needs
to be translated and be put into a file specific to your language (e.g.
plugin_de.properties for German or plugin_de_CH.properties for Swiss German).
- You only need to translate what is different to the origin file. If a
property isn't found in your translation file it's falling back to the main
*.properties file.
- Use eclipse' PropertyEditor in the 'Properties' View to edit the values. This
will do the Unicode encoding stuff for you and prevent you from having
afterwards strange characters within your translation.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jacklondon Chen
> Original Estimate: 672h
> Remaining Estimate: 672h
>
> request for multi-language GUI for Apache Directory Studio.
> I suggest to use Apache commons-configuration components to read key-value
> based multi-language strings in XML format. Each language has a XML file.
> I can translate from English to Chinese.
> Please do not use Java properties files for multi-language, XML is better for
> modifing.
> I am sorry that I do not familliar with SWT. If this project is based on
> Swing, I can finished this part by myself.
