Hi,

They are names of classes / attributes / styles , we're not going to change 
that because of backward compatibility. Names of things can be spelt in any way 
and you retain that spelling in other locales.

The SDK README contained a couple of words eg favorite and one or two ending in 
ize I think. Again as I said up front this only require minor changes going 
forward.

Does it? I was unable to you make it use a locale other than en_US in the 
installer.

HTTP uses links in the page [1], several project (CouchDB, Subversion, JMeter, 
Open Office) use translate.apache.org service [2] to crowd source translations.

We could release localised versions of the SDK compile with each locale (put 
the CI / build machine to good use) and download the correct one based on 
language in the installer.

Thanks,
Justin
