I'm only aware that our "Studio" provides some translations, where I can give you some details. Studio is based on the Eclipse framework. For all the components we reuse from Eclipse (standard menus and dialogs, preferences) we just use the translation packages they provide. For our own plugins we follow the Eclipse approach and use so-called resource bundles which means that there is one properties file per language for each plugin and each Java package. This is quite messy because all the translations are spread across hundreds of files. We currently provide 3 languages: English, French, German. That's by coincidence the languages the developers speak ;). But AFAIK we never reached out to the community to provide more translation. I personally don't use any particular tool to do translations but just edit the properties files directly. I hope that helps, I'm happy to answer more questions :) Kind Regards, Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
